Bumper sticker

This is a copy of the bumper sticker available from Christine Fyffe (our local state member). I also have a few here at Coldstream Timber.

“Fuel reduction burning is a fire management tool that must be used at every opportunity. In many areas on Black Saturday roadside verges burnt extremely hot because of the exceptionally high build up of fuel over many years adding enormously to the intensity of the wildfire. These areas must be treated as a potential threat to life and property in a wildfire event and have their fuel load systematically reduced”, Mr Blackwood said.


“Properties covered with trees, especially native trees, burn fiercely. Virtually every building surrounded by native bushland has been incinerated. Its just common sense really. Reduced fuel loads mean reduced fire risk. No fuel means no fire! Mr Barton said.
