Hazard burn in Jacka

The ACT Rural Fire Service Gungahlin volunteer brigade will be conducting a hazard burn in Jacka this afternoon.

The burn along Roden Cutler Drive will be approximately 4 hectares in size.

Two crews will be in attendance until about 6pm.

Temporary smoke cover may occur. Every effort is made to conduct the burn in weather conditions that will minimise the impact of smoke in the area.

The Health Directorate advises that people with asthma, other chronic respiratory and/or chronic cardiac diseases should not perform vigorous exercise and should stay inside if affected by the smoke. People with asthma in particular should continue their medication and consult their general practitioner if they have any difficulties.
