This fire remains contained and crews will continue to remain on scene throughout the day. Residents in the area should continue to monitor the situation. Winds are expected to pick up today and there remains a risk of further escapes. To ensure your safety and that of Firefighters and other emergency personnel who are working in the area, please do not enter the area unless necessary. Check and follow your Bushfire Survival Plan.
