Bushfire Recovery Resources
The Sherwood Bushfire on Saturday the 6th of January 2018 blacked out 12,000ha of farmland during extreme temperatures and strong winds. Six houses, 78 head of cattle and around 2,000 sheep were lost in the blaze.
The nature of these fire events, which were extremely fast moving, meant that members from the farming community and local CFS units were integral in helping to prevent the impacts of the fires from spreading further.
