The plan before the fire

BUSHFIRE preparedness was front and centre in Halls Gap on Monday, as residents gathered under blue skies for the town’s annual Get Fire Ready event. Organised by Halls Gap Fire Brigade and the Halls Gap Kitchen Cabinet community recovery committee, the gathering attracted a solid crowd for an afternoon of practical advice, community spirit and a barbecue ahead of the coming fire season.
