Mr Parr told News Of The Area this incident is a reminder of the importance of preparing for the fire season. “Prepare your properties and always expect the unexpected, when the fire is on you, it is too late,” he said. “People should go and look at the RFS website and download a bushfire survival plan.” The Bushfire Danger Period commenced on 1 October and a permit is now required from the RFS by anyone wanting to conduct a burn.
