DSE Burning off

DSE planned burns in the Dandenongs & Silvan - Monday 20th, Tuesday 21st & Wednesday 22nd April.

The following planned burns will go ahead in the coming days, depending on favourable weather conditions.

Monday 20 April

An 8-hectare burn, (burn number D92) between Thompsons and Jasper Roads near Kalorama in the Dandenong Ranges National Park (Melways 52 J8) - confirmed will be ignited early this afternoon (around 1pm).


Tuesday 21 April

A 7-hectare burn, (burn number D80) near Helen Rd near Ferny Creek in the Dandenong Ranges National Park (Melways 66 C10)

The 52-hectare burn conducted yesterday near Mt Dandenong off Singleton Terrace went well and is almost complete. Crews will be lighting some small areas within the burn area today to complete it, so you may see some residual smoke today.

All burns are patrolled by firefighters during the burn and for the days and weeks following their completion.

There are no expected road closures as a result of the burns but drivers passing through smoky areas should slow down and use their headlights.
