REMINDER
RE CURRENT SEVERE WEATHER WARNINGS
The
predicted high winds and dry conditions have prompted the State Emergency Services to warn all residents of Victoria to ensure
that their fire plans are in place and ready to activate if necessary. Property owners need to stay alert
and decide now whether or not they will stay - or go - in the event of a fire in their area.
