Today, crews from #NSWRFS and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service are conducting a hazard reduction burn on the Northern Beaches. While these burns are just one method fire agencies use to prepare for the fire season, landholders can take action to prepare their own property by cleaning out the gutters and keeping the grass maintained. Don't be complacent, make sure your property is bush fire ready. For more information about scheduled hazard reduction burns around the state, visit the Fires

You ‘herd’ it correctly – the NSW RFS have recruited goats 🐐 to undertake a hazard reduction grazing trial in the state’s west to further prepare this fire season. The honorary four-legged firefighters have been sourced from local farmers and in a controlled environment are grazing on grass to reduce the fuel loads in fire-prone areas. No kidding – these goats provide an alternative to burning, which is heavily reliant on favourable weather. Rain hail or shine, these goats are here to help! #NS
