Bays group members meet fire service committee

Committee members from the Bays Community Group Inc met with members of the local Rural Fire Service Committee at its headquarters recently.

"It was a very worthwhile and informative catch up," said Bays Community Group president Ms Cathy Gleeson.

"It was made quite evident that due to our very dry winter months, we all need to make sure we will be fire ready for the predicted hot months ahead," Ms Gleeson said.

"At our recent Community Breakfast, the RFS displayed posters showing the fire zones and the devastating impact this would have if a fire was to come through our area again," she said.

Ms Gleeson said she thanked the RFS personnel for the jobs they had done to complete recent controlled burns in preparation for the fire season.

She said the RFS also held its annual Get Ready Day at its headquarters in Wattle Cr, Phegan's Bay, on Saturday, September 16.

"I believe many residents popped in and said hello and got to know the team," she said.
