Shire of Denmark readies itself for rapidly approaching bushfire season with ***** safety weekend

Denmark prepared itself for the upcoming ***** season in a family-friendly weekend event designed to educate and entertain the community about ***** safety.

The bushfire-ready weekend, now in its third year, ran from November 1 to 3 including expert workshops, activities, and a bushfire brigade skills competition that readied the Denmark community for the rapidly approaching ***** season.

Shire of Denmark president Kingsley Gibson said the weekend demonstrated the readiness of the community.

“It was really well supported in that the brigade actually gained quite a number of new members from the weekend display in Strickland Street, and they felt really supported by the community,” he said.

“We’re very well aware of the risks in a drying climate, of having such a high percentage of our land area covered in forest.

“We also have the highest number of bushfire ready groups of any local government — so it shows that people are aware and are keen to be prepared.”
