Seville CFA members were paged to a grass fire in a slashed paddock around midday on Sunday 29 January, supported by Wandin Fire Brigade and Hillcrest Fire Brigade. They had good access into the paddock and was able to round it up before it spread beyond the boundaries. Blacking out was done to ensure there were no areas that could reignite and the brigade made use of their TIC (Thermal Imaging Camera) to check for any hot spots, including fence posts.
This is a timely reminder that while we have hot, dry conditions and when working on your property do so with caution and follow the guidelines on the CFA website.
Seville CFA took part in a grass fire training exercise run by Gruyere Fire Brigade just last week, along with a number of other local brigades.
