MURRINDINDI: Fire inspections to begin
Fire season is fast approaching, which means Murrindindi Shire Fire Prevention Officers will soon begin inspections to help identify and reduce fire hazards across the community.
“Fire prevention isn’t optional, it’s a legal responsibility we all share. By working together, we can help stop fires from starting and spreading in our Shire,” said a Council representative.
“Our Fire Prevention Officers will be working alongside landowners to find practical ways to manage risks.
“In some cases, they may need to issue notices asking for works to make properties safer. These steps aren’t about being strict – they’re about protecting people, homes and the environment we all value. In rare cases where works aren’t completed, further action may be required – but our aim is always to support landowners to get the job done first.”
