A couple of fires in Healesville and Dixons Creek on Thursday 17 March were a stark reminder to ensure you are staying fire safe.
Just after 10am, CFA were called to reports of smoke issuing from a car on the Melba Highway in Dixon’s Creek.
Two CFA vehicles arrived on the scene and the fire was extinguished just after 10.20am. Police attended the scene to arrange to have the car towed.
CFA crews were also called to a grass and scrub fire just before midday on Myers Creek Road, Healesville. Three CFA vehicles attended, and the fire was under control at 12.08pm.
Victoria Police also attended.
A reminder to people not to burn off during the Fire Danger Period without a permit.
