Alexandra SES volunteers responded to more than 15 calls for assistance this afternoon after a gusty storm moved through our response area.
Crews attended incidents across Eildon, Yea, Cathkin, Yarck, Alexandra and Koriella, clearing fallen trees and branches to help keep roads open and our community safe.
With our landscape still dry and many trees fire-affected, strong winds can bring an increased risk of falling limbs and unstable trees. Today’s conditions were a timely reminder of how quickly hazards can develop.
A big thank you to our fellow emergency responders from Yea CFA, Alexandra CFA, Victoria Police, Foresty Fire Management Victoria and Murrindindi Shire Council who lent a much-needed hand.
AusNet were also on hand to assist after several trees became entangled in powerlines in both Yea and Alexandra.
While the storm brought significant debris, it has also delivered some welcome rain to our fire-impacted community.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and support.
