This cache has a theme: "Bush Fire Brigade". So spare a thought for these guys next time you see smoke. As the saying goes "where there's smoke there's..."
About:
The Fire Control Centre located at Mittagong forms the administrative and operational base for the Southern Highlands District's 38 brigade fire stations.
The Southern Highland District includes both the Wingecarribee and Wollondilly Local Government Areas. The area covered by the Southern Highlands Team is 525,700 hectares.
The RFS aims to reduce the likelihood and consequence of fires occurring. This involves comprehensive risk management programs to reduce bush fire hazards, reduce fire ignitions and the development of regulations for bush fire prone areas.
