Just before 9pm on Thursday 27 October Hillcrest CFA was called to a tree on fire that caught on fire next to a burn off pile.
Crews worked quickly to contain the blaze and thankfully it didn’t spread any further.
The CFA said this was a timely reminder, urging residents to be careful when burning off and even though we are still having rainfall burn offs can still spread.
Always keep an eye on the weather conditions and changing winds when clearing your property.
