00:00Yeah, we're here north of Tamworth completing a hazard reduction in the hills behind Moor
00:11Creek and Daruka.
00:13The aim is to be able to reduce the fuels on that interface to protect those communities
00:20during this hot summer.
00:30There will be a succession of burns in this area.
00:38It's quite a large hazard reduction, so we're taking every opportunity to come into this
00:45area and complete hazard reductions in a piecemeal kind of fashion.
01:00It's important that we take these opportunities, particularly in between the storms and the
01:08rain and this hot weather that we've had, to complete these hazard reductions so that
01:13we do get reduced fuel in this area.
01:16So should a bushfire kick off, then we've got some opportunity to get that fire under
01:23control.
