With the backdrop of Bellbraes new Fire Station, formed in 2013 from a satellite station of Torquay, the environment around this cache proves to be of a high danger during the bushfire season. Take a look around at the different trees and vegetation Bellbrae has to offer.
Bellbrae Fire station proves to be of high value throughout the year. The vegetation located in the area is high risk throughout the bushfire season. The tree located near the cache, for example, has stringy bark. This means that in a bushfire, these trees will send a large amount of embers further ahead of the fire. These embers can cause more damage to your property and cause smaller fires to start ahead of the larger fire. Be aware of your surrounding vegetation while travelling through the area. Check your Fire Danger Rating for each day and have a plan ready. Leave early and live. Stay safe this season.
