THE Country Fire Authority (CFA), Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) and Parks Victoria carried out planned burns along Old Ararat Road and the Blackwood-Dunkeld Road in Dunkeld earlier this week.

The CFA’s Planned Burn Taskforce was on site for the complex burn – the taskforce is made up of pool of 400 members who can be called on for planned burns across the state.
