NPWS hazard reduction burn in Deniliquin from Sunday
The National Parks and Wildlife Service is planning to take advantage of favourable weather predicted for next week to conduct hazard reduction burns in the Murray Valley Regional Park at Deniliquin.
The operation is part of an on-going fuel management program to reduce the risk to properties from potential wildfires in the vicinity of Deniliquin.
Riverina Area Manager Robin Mares said the burn is expected to begin on Sunday 18 April and take up to three days, with mopping up operations continuing for several days after.
“The burn is planned to occur across two key sections of Murray Valley Regional Park – in the north around Willoughby’s Beach and in the south in the Joggers Trail area.
The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will conduct two hazard reduction burns in Dharawal National Park and Budderoo National Park starting.
The fire broke out just after 6am at 17300 block of S. Harlem Ave.
According to Tinley Park Fire Chief Forest Reeder, the husband and wife of the home were asleep when a stranger, driving by, stopped and banged on the front door and woke them up. The couple managed to escape unharmed.
