THE Surf Coast Shire has recently begun slashing grass on roadsides to help make the area more fire safe.<\/p>\n

\n

The council will aim to finish its annual fire prevention roadside slashing program before Christmas, though this will be subject to conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cr Tony Revell said the program was crucial to preventing fires over the coming months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“As a CFA volunteer firefighter, I know that the flame height of a fire in slashed grass is halved and the rate of spread of the fire is slowed. This makes the fire easier to put out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The slashing will also assist road users by improving site distance at intersections.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cr Revell also said that people would have to be patient as the program would be carried out in stages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

People with questions about the program can call 5261 0600 or head to surfcoast.vic.gov.au\/request<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) also carries out a roadside mowing program for its road network. People can find out more about RRV works under way or planned in their local area by visiting www.regionalroads.vic.gov.au\/map<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
