March often brings ongoing heat and dry conditions. As more people tackle home maintenance, property clean‑ups, and outdoor projects, the risk of fires caused by hot works, power tools, machinery and batteries increases. By staying alert and following safe work practices, we can help protect our families, neighbours, and the wider Nannup community.
