AFAC has released the Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Winter 2022

The Australian and New Zealand National Council (AFAC) for fire and emergency services has released the Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Winter 2022, predicting below-normal fire potential for the ACT due to above average rainfall and increased soil moisture.

Despite the cooler conditions, when possible crews are expected to continue to undertake prescribed burns throughout Winter to manage fuel loads across the Territory.

There are simple steps you can take to prepare your home for bushfire and storms, all year round. Visit the ACT Emergency Services Agency website for more information – www.esa.act.gov.au/be-emergency-ready
