Two heavy tankers, one light unit, and twelve personnel will conduct the burn of vegetation piles.
The ACT Handy Map grid reference is L14.
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.

People with asthma in particular should continue their medication and consult their general practitioner if they have any difficulties.
