Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture has activated its Emergency Management protocols in response to the bushfire watch and act alert that has been issued for Renison Bell.
An Incident Management Team has been established to coordinate our response to this incident.
We will be closely monitoring conditions and stand ready to take any actions required to protect the welfare of our employees and the safety of our assets.
We urge the public to follow the advice of emergency services and avoid the Renison Bell area, particularly as smoke could affect visibility on surrounding roads.
We would like to recognise the efforts of emergency services that have been working around the clock to protect the West Coast community from these devastating fires.
