Stay Tuned to the CFA (Country Fire Authority)s Youtube Channel for weekly updates. Todays Summer Safety Update is below. The transcript is here: Summer safety update – Dec 8 2014 Across Victoria weve been experiencing rain which is actually reduced the fire danger rating obviously. In Gippsland there has been rain experience between 40 and 130 millimetres which is quite significant rain and in some parts of Gippsland they are saying its the best rain they have had in 10 years, in a very short period. However if you go over to the western side of the state its been showers that have not seen any significant rain at all. Thats the driest part of Victoria. So although we have had rain and for people its easier think rain and the fire risk has gone away, but in most parts of Victoria this wont change the fire season at all. So its still about fire prevention, its about the things you need to do to clean up to be ready for certainly the January February period and its the right time to do it now before people go to the holiday mode or get in the Christmas period. The second one, and again we emphasise what you need to do. What do you do, what are you thinking about, have you thought through the actions you will take when the fire days and hot days around us and also we get information to make good decisions. They are really three key message is that we still emphasise now and probably the last point fire restrictions are coming in across the state. Go and check the CFA website or talk to the local council about the fire restrictions that will be in place or could be coming in soon and they will be very local conditions. Also this week with seen some warnings some minor flood warnings on some rivers so it is being attuned to to what the rain has done and in some areas there are some restrictions but they are very local and people should check their local conditions.
