Firebreaks

Firebreaks aren’t just there to stop a fire in it’s tracks, they are there to give firefighters access to your property while they fight the fire.

We install and maintain firebreaks using mechanical or chemical processes to comply with Bushfires Act 1954. We can brush cut, spray, slash or use our Fecon forestry mulcher to install and maintain a compliant firebreak in any landform or vegetation complex
