The City of Gosnells Bush Fire Brigade, in cooperation with the Department of Environment and Conservation, has started its spring hazard reduction burn program along the Darling Range.

Controlled burns are being conducted in areas identified as having high levels of combustible fuels.

Three sites, covering nearly 100ha, have been earmarked for fuel reduction within existing strategic fire breaks.

City of Gosnells Acting Governance Director Grant Bradbrook said the annual burn program helped to reduce environmental damage caused by summer wildfires and reduced the risk of bushfire to private properties.

“These spring burns also give our volunteers an excellent opportunity to put their training into practice and enhance their skills in the lead-up to the summer fire season,” he said.

For advice or assistance on carrying out private burns, please call the City on 9391 3222.
