Very High Fire Risk in the ACT Manages to Rile Fires
ACT experiences two very high fire danger days amid industrial wet weather reducing firefighting capacity. Bush Fire Council workers spent the weekend tracing outbreaks spotted near Piddilly Civan, with fires controlled quickly after detection. Chief Fire Officer Roger Fenwek warned the Sunday blaze could have been very dangerous, as forest closures saw more people using them and boiling billy flames. Canberra recorded a seventh day of above average temperatures with a daytime high around 34 Celsius and an expected peak near 38 under hot, dry conditions.
