Air support is vital to our operations. Helicopters can be heard during fires, as they drop water on the fire line. They use water sources to fill their buckets. Do you have a static water supply on your property that can be used by either helicopters or ground crews? It can be a swimming pool or dam. The RFS can provide a Static Water Source sign (SWS) that can be placed in a visible location so crews are aware that water is available.

Fires move rapidly in the terrain surrounding Winmalee, you need to make sure that you have a Bush Fire Survival Plan, and you make your decision to stay and defend, or go, early enough to have a chance.

Large fires in the distance can appear as clouds, this is actually a pyronimbus cloud affect from an intense fire, creating its own weather system

If you want to come down to the Winmalee Station, and meet some of our team, we are open on Saturday afternoon from approximately 1pm until 5pm. And Tuesday evenings from 7.30 pm. Feel free to come down, we are more than happy to assist you preparing your Bush Fire Survival as well as any other concerns you may have in regard to Bush Fires.
