Misty caught up with Simon Jackson, Acting District Manager at the Clarence Valley RFS, to discuss the upcoming bushfire season, with the Bush Fire Danger Period now starting earlier on August 1st.

They chatted about what the earlier start means for local residents, how to prepare your property, and why having a Bush Fire Survival Plan is so important.
