Fire Assessment and Advice Program
To all Putty, Kindarun and Yengo residents,
The forecast for a dry winter and spring leading into this year’s fire season should be a reminder for all residents to prepare their properties ahead of time.
The Putty Rural Fire Brigade is offering to visit land owners and assess their properties for fire danger and offer advice on preparations.
Any residents interested in taking part in this program should contact the Brigade Captain Kenn Mackett at the below email address to arrange a time for a site inspection.
Please note that this is an Assessment and Advice program and that the Putty Brigade will NOT be conducting hazard reduction work on private properties.
Thank you
from the Putty Rural Fire Brigade
