Letter to the editor | Helping our volunteers

There are several ways to prepare your property, whether it be clearing trees and vegetation, landscaping, home improvements or approved burn-offs.

When it comes to high-fire risk days, having a clear evacuation plan in place is crucial, as is following the advice of emergency services personnel.

With warm weather just around the corner, I want to extend my thanks to our selfless and dedicated emergency service volunteers across all of our regional communities.

I encourage everyone to thank these heroic individuals and ensure you are prepared to make their lives as easy as possible at what will undoubtedly be a busy and challenging time.
