Sunday 23rd October 2011 Engadine & Waterfall Rural Fire Brigasdes carried out a Hazard reduction in Ferntree Reserve Engadine. The HR was to protect around 40 homes that maybe affected by Bushfires along Woronora Rd and Ferntree RD Engadine. The area burnt was only 0.8 of ha but offers protection to homes.

The hazard reduction was completed in four hours with members of the ENgadine Rural Brigade supplying catering to firefighters in the field. All crews enjoyed the experience to catch up with another brigade and give new member sin Brigades a chance to gain some valuable experience before the fire season .

There are more Hazard reductions planned over the next few weeks weather permitting. For any further information where these HRs will be completed contact Sutherland Rural Fire Service District office or vist www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.
