DISTRICT 5 CFA undertook two planned burns to create major strategic breaks through fuel hazard reduction on Wednesday.

The burns were undertaken on both sides of the Glenelg Highway between the railway crossing just west of Dunkeld, all the way to Mill Road, and on the Hamilton Highway between Kurtzes Road and West Boundary Road near Tarrington.
