Fire conference

Forest Fire Management Victoria Wimmera District hosted its 47th annual Little Desert Fire Conference.

Wimmera district manager Glenn Rudolph said the conference provided an opportunity to strengthen multi-agency partnerships and share knowledge and ideas before a demanding spring planned burning program and early fire season.

“Along with our key partners including Parks Victoria, Country Fire Authority, Emergency Management Victoria, catchment management authorities, local government and traditional owners, we reviewed our joint fuel management planning for the Little Desert National Park, west Wimmera, and Mt Arapiles-tooan State Park across private and public land,” he said.
