The South Burnett will have a very high fire danger rating for the next three days<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 6, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett residents have been urged to stay alert with a high fire danger continuing in the region until the weekend.<\/p>\n

Rural Fire Service North Coast Regional Manager Peter Hollier said a very high danger rating was put in place on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Saturday will also have a very high fire danger, before easing on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cA \u2018very high\u2019 fire danger rating means fires could be difficult to control and homes may be threatened or damaged, so it is important Wide Bay and Burnett residents are cautious,\u201d Mr Hollier said.
\n<\/strong>
\n\u201cThat means delaying planned burns until fire conditions improve or, if you must conduct a burn, ensuring you have a permit in place, you abide by the conditions and you contact your local fire warden before lighting up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Hollier said residents should also avoid the use of power tools and farm machinery, if possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cA spark from power tools, mowers or farm machinery could be enough to start a small fire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCombined with dry conditions and a very high fire danger rating, a small fire has the potential to spread quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have to use machinery, the RFS recommends you have another person available to watch closely for ignitions, and have direct access to a portable water supply.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
