Red Hot Tips participant lights up vineyard for fuel reduction

Falling embers from a bushfire in the summer of 2013 were a wakeup call for vineyard owner, Lindy Bull. “I was made aware two years ago just how long it took for us to get everyone out of the vineyard,” she said. “How upset were the tourists, as it closed the area down. “There’s so much damage with an uncontrolled fire, particularly in the height of the tourist season.” Bull owns Freycinet Vineyard on Tasmania’s east coast not far from the popular Freycinet National Park.
