Fire progress

The Fire Service is pleased to announce that good progress has been made in controlling
the fire in the Worselys Road area.

Patrols will continue in the area, but crews will no longer be actively working in the area
unless called in for a flare up.

Residents are asked to help by being vigilant and to DIAL 111 IMMEDIATELY IF THEY SEE
ANY SIGN OF THE FIRE REIGNITING.

“Our crews have made great progress and we’re pleased to be able to pull back from the
Worsleys area, but we really need people to keep a watch on things for us,’’ said Fire
Service Liaison Officer Bruce Irvine. “The more eyes we have out there looking the better.”

Fire services are continuing operations in other areas affected by the fire.
