Fire hazard notices rise as council steps up inspections

NORTHERN Grampians Shire Council has already issued 189 Fire Prevention Notices during the current fire hazard inspection period, a figure slightly higher than in previous years, as officers continue checks across the municipality ahead of peak fire danger. The figure, current as of January 21, is expected to rise further, with council confirming it is still responding to reports and complaints that may lead to additional inspections and notices.
