MOTHER NATURE HASN'T STOPPED YET!
WINDS, WINDS AND MORE WINDS....
We don't want to sound like a broken record, but the strong dry winds will continue over the Snowy Monaro LGA for the most of this week.
HIGHTENED FIRE RISK WITH THESE STRONG, DRY WINDS.
Stopping fire ignitions is paramount, as fires can and will spread rapidly.
Illegal or reckless care with fires, together with slashers, mowers, hot works (grinder and welders) & hot vehicle exhausts can readily start fires that can easily escalate to out of control.
Also, a reminder that the Bush Fire Danger Period is in effect and Fire Permits are required for all fires in the open, except cooking and small recreational fires.
Let's all do our part in keeping our community safe over this period.

WINDS, WINDS & MORE WINDS.......Unfortunately that's the weather prognosis this week for the Snowy Monaro LGA.
Stopping fire ignitions is paramount, as grass fires can and will spread rapidly.
Also, a reminder that the Bush Fire Danger Period comes into effect from midnight tonight (Wednesday 1st October, 2025), and with that Fire Permits are required for all fires in the open, except cooking and small recreational fires.
