Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, Territorian's turned out in force to celebrate Territory Day overnight,
thousands descending on Mindle for the public fireworks display, and
many of you enjoying your own personal fireworks to celebrate
all that is wonderful about the Northern Territory. Now joining
us on the show to let us know how things
went overnight. Chief Fire Officer for the Northern Territory Fire
(00:21):
East Stephen Sewel, good morning to you listeners, and of
course Bushfires into Incident Controller Mark Williams, good morning to you.
Lovely to have you both on the show. Now, tell
me if either of you slept. First off, little bit
little bit of sleep, because it's a I would imagine
(00:42):
it is probably the busiest night of the year for
our firefighters rural and in the city. Steve and I
might go to you first. Do we know how many
fires we had overnight?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, so just during the period that we recorded the
actual stats, one hundred and eighty fires, so like it
was was quite significant. So yeah, one hundred and fifty
there were grass fires, so sixteen rubbish bin fires. We
had structure fires as well, so ended up being three
(01:16):
for the period, so which is quite significant. Obviously there'll
be you know, some people displaced because of that.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, talk me through. I mean one hundred and fifty
grass fires, sixteen rubbish bin fires. Obviously the concerning ones
those three structure fires, where were they so out.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
In Humpty Doo we had the loss of someone's dwelling.
So Yarawanga was the next one, which was industrial estate premises.
And I'm not one hundred percent sure on the third location,
but that was the one that was a garage fire.
So the storage of fireworks after the events, so it
(02:01):
must have been right, hot stuff or whatever in there
as well. And yeah, so that's ignited.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Do we know how extensive the damage was with those
structure fires.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
No, they're currently under investigation, so like, I won't go
too far into any of that so that we can
allow the investigation to take place. But Johnny and like,
it's obviously damaging to people's lives and livelihood.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So the one added Humpty dew does that fall under
NT fires or under bush fires or is it a
combination of both?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Dealing with us, So that was in the era, so
that was like in now rural residential.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Area and so do we know if like, do we
know if it was Territory Day related because a couple
of those were sort of early in the afternoon, wasn't that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Correct? I think that one from memory was like around
the two o'clock mark. So yeah, so people are in
position of fireworks. But like I said before, we're investigating
and we'll get a cause.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So now in terms of just with one hundred and
fifty grass fires, and this probably falls across both of you,
how significant with some of those grass fires? Are we
talking sort of small areas? Are we talking quite large
areas going up in flames?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, some of them were quite large, like for us,
and some of them were you know, quite resource intensive
and we had to tie up resources for quite some time.
So down at Radford Road there was one of the
ones that I was at until just after three o'clock
in the morning and then we handed over to the
(03:36):
normal cruise so that one went well into like you know,
early hours.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So that was Bradford Road, did you show.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, so where all that new building and development is
in Zacoli so and behind the rural residents on Morgan
Road there. So it was quite big and they're saying,
you know, down towards Gunpoint or behind and how to
park there with Stella Road. There was another quite large
one like out there as well.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So and so how many I mean, how many fieries
are you talking having to get out there and deal
with that one?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, so like we're looking at probably you know, twelve
people you know, tied up at each one, and the
same out Casarina Coastal Reserve. So that that was quite
gnali as well with everyone, do you know, I mean
like in that urban interface. So yeah, so Cruise did
(04:33):
really really well to extinguish and contain the fire and
prevent spread and that's it. So there was a few
stern words spoken and at certain times to some people
that just kept lighting up after firies had already been
through and extinguished and were called straight back to the area.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh my goodness. But yeah, like literally like you're putting
the fire out and there's still then letting fireworks back
off into the same area that you've just put it out.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, correct, So, but but that's that's fireworks, I suppose
as well. And just you know that that factor you
know that you just can't.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Stupidity I think we call it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, it's probably a good word for it. But yeah,
there was like, definitely some some stuff that shouldn't have
happened and was quite dangerous. There was a person on
the esplanade we were shopping trolley that was trying to
ignite all of that that load with a gas torch.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You say, oh my goodness, what happened then that?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, they got stopped and obviously we called the police
as well because that's unsafe behavior.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So well, we're going to be catching up with the
police a little bit later, so we'll find out a
bit more about that one. In terms of the rural area,
how was it out in the rural area. I mean,
obviously a huge number of fires being dealt with, had
to go for you guys.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It was a very good night actually, and certainly a
lot of credit out to the public in general for
being prepared and saying on top of things. We did
have twenty five fires across the territory that we responded to.
A lot of those were actually responded to and came
across by our crews patrolling their local areas. So a
(06:21):
number of reports came in where they've actually spotted fires
from a distance and traveled to them, and on at
least a couple of occasions, the residents in the locality
that have accidentally caused these fires didn't even know the
fires that occurred, one of them inside a courtyard of
a residence, and it was a very very lucky and
fortunate save. So it certainly paid dues for us to
(06:43):
have our crews out and about last night. Certainly everybody
seemed to be enjoying themselves. We had localities up and
down the highway, the old airstrips and the usual haunting
spots for us that we've done pre preparation and pride
burning on the vegetation around the outskirts, and that in
turn has also paid dividends to us by not having
(07:04):
the bush land being able to be lit up because
it'd already been treated by that prescribed fire.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So in that one where the courtyard was alike, the
people inside the home didn't realize that there was a fire.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Outs at that particular time. No, they didn't actually realize
that the firework had gone over and into that courtyard.
So again lucky saves around in those general locations. But
that was also repeated with our crews assisting into the
ras in areas like Alice Springs. It was a fair
number of jobs down that area that were assisted in that,
(07:37):
and we had a couple outside the ra in our
own areas. Savannah for instance, had four incidance, Alice had
that one in our area, and also Barkley had one,
So a total of twenty five, which is drastically reduced
compared to normal. I think a lot of it not
only that, I guess prepositioning of our cruise, but also
we've had that still a bit of a green tea
(08:00):
to things around and because they went when dropped off
early in the afternoon certainly kept those fires a lot
smaller than what they could have been.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So a drastic reduction for bush fires in t out
in those areas. With on the twenty five fires, I mean,
I say only it's still a big number of fires
that you're obviously having to deal with. How does it
compare like numbers wise from previous years.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Last year itself was even less than the year prior,
so its a bit of a starting to trend down
and hopefully that's a sign for future. So again, congratulations
to the public for doing the right thing and being prepared.
But I think a lot of it also comes down
to I guess our preparation, but also the weather as well,
So we had a fortunate evening. Certainly some tire cruise
(08:41):
out and around today, but we're prepared. We're going to
stick an observation flight up this morning and make sure
that we've got a wrap on everything and again working
with our colleagues in fire rescue to cover the area
and be ready to respond should anything kick on.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, it does seem to have been such a good
call ordinated response from fireies like you know, out in
the rural area and indeed in town, Stephen, in terms
of our numbers in the city, one hundred and eighty fives.
How does that compare to previous.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yes, it's slightly slightly up for the same periods. But yeah,
like our just fire Call operators they took five hundred
and seventy calls, so like it's quite insane and they
do such a wonderful job in there, like as all
of our crews and our volunteers like really stood up
(09:31):
last night as well. So yeah, we had enhanced resources
on last night and they're all there again today. So today,
like you said before, is you know our peak period
where we're like looking out for people that are unaware.
You know, people are more aware when the event's actually
(09:53):
taken place. But today is a bit of a danger
period for us.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Ye, So do you anticipate for both of you, do
you anticipate the next twenty four hours is actually going
to be quite busy? I mean, you know, we know
that there's always some people who hang on to fireworks
and then sort of let them all off. I know
they shouldn't be, but it's it's fairly common that that
does happen. Do you anticipate it's going to be a
busy twenty four hours?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Certainly? I guess a peak period for us at the moment.
We've still got a lot of school holidays going on,
people still with those remnant fireworks and the likes of that,
So it will certainly be on heightened awareness. We've got
Cruise rostered through. Our volunteers are certainly aware of the
issues and the local hotspots that we've got within their
brigade areas. So certainly, and again that observation flight later
today will indicate any existing fires that are already occurring
(10:38):
that may not have been reported last night. Yeah, so
we'll wrap them up as quick as we possibly can.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Stephen, same situation for you, pretty much like the inversion
will happen, you know, round about nine o'clock and then
we'll see like winds drop off, not until nineteen hundred tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
So yeah, so it's all intelligence lead sort of thing,
and we've got people ready to respond. So we've had
our r pass crews have been up this morning, so
just trying to identify any hot spots that left over
from last night so that we can get Cruis there
straight away and onto it before it becomes a problem.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And is there are there any areas of concern this morning?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, so back out in those rural areas and those
large grass wires that we did have Catherina Coastal Reserve
and stuff like that, they're still areas of concern. So
if anyone out there sees any smoke or sees any fire,
make sure they're ring triple zero and one three one
triple four and we'll respond appropriately.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Any idea with the Casarina Coastal Reserve. What kind of
like area we're talking that was damaged over ice.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't know the actual size or what have you,
but yeah, quite significant, you know, so you know, and
it's all Prestine country.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So absolutely it's always a worry like the large majority
tend to do the right thing, but then you always
have some that really do behave in a way that is,
you know, is stupid, I guess is the most straightforward
way to put it, which is disappointing. But would just
say the large majority have behaved fairly well overnight. You know,
what would your synopsis be from overnight overall?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I think it was thumbs up, you know, like it
was it was definitely you know, the benefit of territorians
like having a good time and everything like that. It
was one hundred percent, you know, so you'll always get
your ones and twos and that. But like all the
work that went in as well prior to the event,
Like we did a lot of prevention, a lot of preparation,
(12:39):
you know, and that's not just by us, that's also
by businesses and landowners and stuff like that as well.
So that really pays dividends and makes both of our
jobs a lot easier and all the crews that are
out there so and when people do their firebreaks and
their own mitigation, it just gives firefighters a defendable spot
(13:00):
to fight the fire from and wrap it up like
with the best means possible.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Well yeah, well, Thank you both very much for your
time this morning. Thank you to all of the Fieries,
all the volunteers that worked their butts off overnight to
make sure that you know that those fires were put out.
I think with that, you know, quite honestly, without you
guys doing those jobs, and without all the volunteers and
the Fieries, we wouldn't be able to celebrate Territory Day
(13:25):
in the way in which we do. So thanks for
your work, and I really hope the next twenty four
to forty eight hours is a little bit quieter for you.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, and it's not just Darwin as well, so right
across the territory, So just acknowledge all those other people
out there.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It's like, yeah, one hundred and just actually on that note,
how did Catherine go overnight? Were they are right?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, they had a couple of jobs down there. We
assisted with the er as well, and I think we
had as I said, four in and around that area.
But yeah, there was a number of instances, but it
was significantly quieter than what it has been in previous
years on our perspective, which is very very pleasing, and
as Stephen mentioned, I think it is that one on
(14:10):
two percent ruined it for or potentially ruin it for
everybody else. So but congratulations to everybody else in their
preparations and haven't what appeared to be a fantastic evening.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh well, good stuff. Thank you both so very much
for your time this morning, Chief Fire Officer steven Sall
and Bushfires Into Incident Controller Mark Williams. Thank you both
for your time.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, talk me through. I mean one hundred and fifty
grass fires, sixteen rubbish bin fires. Obviously the concerning ones
those three structure fires, where were they so out.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
In Humpty Doo we had the loss of someone's dwelling.
So Yarawanga was the next one, which was industrial estate premises.
And I'm not one hundred percent sure on the third location,
but that was the one that was a garage fire.
So the storage of fireworks after the events, so it
(02:01):

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Stephen, same situation for you, pretty much like the inversion
will happen, you know, round about nine o'clock and then
we'll see like winds drop off, not until nineteen hundred tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
So yeah, so it's all intelligence lead sort of thing,

triple four and we'll respond appropriately.
Speaker 1 (11:35):

like area we're talking that was damaged over ice.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't know the actual size or what have you,
but yeah, quite significant, you know, so you know, and
it's all Prestine country.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So absolutely it's always a worry like the large majority
tend to do the right thing, but then you always
have some that really do behave in a way that is,

with the best means possible.

Well yeah, well, Thank you both very much for your
time this morning. Thank you to all of the Fieries,
all the volunteers that worked their butts off overnight to
make sure that you know that those fires were put out.
I think with that, you know, quite honestly, without you
guys doing those jobs, and without all the volunteers and
the Fieries, we wouldn't be able to celebrate Territory Day
(13:25):
in the way in which we do. So thanks for
your work, and I really hope the next twenty four
to forty eight hours is a little bit quieter for you.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, and it's not just Darwin as well, so right
across the territory, So just acknowledge all those other people
out there.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It's like, yeah, one hundred and just actually on that note,
how did Catherine go overnight? Were they are right?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, they had a couple of jobs down there. We
assisted with the er as well, and I think we
had as I said, four in and around that area.
But yeah, there was a number of instances, but it
was significantly quieter than what it has been in previous
years on our perspective, which is very very pleasing, and
as Stephen mentioned, I think it is that one on
(14:10):
two percent ruined it for or potentially ruin it for
everybody else. So but congratulations to everybody else in their
preparations and haven't what appeared to be a fantastic evening.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh well, good stuff. Thank you both so very much
for your time this morning, Chief Fire Officer steven Sall
and Bushfires Into Incident Controller Mark Williams. Thank you both
for your time.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Thank you,
