TFS is currently attending and conditions are expected to ease later this evening.
What to do:
- If you have a bushfire plan, check it now.
- Well prepared homes are expected to be defendable in these conditions.
- Monitor conditions, and if they get more dangerous, and you are not well prepared, plan to go to a safer place.
