Tieri Wildfire Mitigation

The Tieri Fire Brigade would like to advise all residents of TIERI that hazard reduction burns will be conducted in the local area from Monday 7th August 2023 to Thursday 10th August, 2023.

The Burns will take place in the APZs (Asset Protection Zones) which is the bushland directly behind the residential houses and the main fire break protecting the town. (PTO for map) NB Burns will only take place if weather conditions are suitable. The aim of hazard reduction burns is to reduce the fuel load in the area to protect the town area and infrastructure from wildfire during the upcoming fire season.
