Silvan planned burn complete



Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) and Country Fire Authority (CFA) have announced the Silvan – Silvan Reservoir East Candling planned burn has finished.

The burn is now being patrolled by fire agency crews as it continues to spreads inside the control lines.

You can expect to see flames and smoke while the burn is being patrolled.

Access to the burn area will be restricted until there is no material burning within the burn area.

Crews will also complete safety checks, including dealing with any hazardous trees that may pose a risk to public safety.

Once these checks have been carried out the burn will be declared safe and the area will be re-opened.
