While the Southern Highlands didn't experience many storms during the October 1-March 31 storm season, Wingecarribee SES local controller Lynn Ritchie said the damage caused by the severe wind storms of August 24 had blown out the team's task figures for the year.

"We attended to 600 tasks (following the August wind storms) and the previous record was 250 tasks for an event," she said.

"That meant that we attended the highest number of tasks for a particular year despite the fact we didn't have too many individual storms in the area."

Ms Ritchie said task figures were normally low for the local SES team, as the Wingecarribee region isn't known for being a storm prone region.

"The storms are normally still gathering steam when they come through here...but we did have some severe electrical storms during the last season," she said.

As for the Wingecarribee Rural Fire Service, whose bushfire danger season also ended on March 31, Fire Control Officer Superintendent Ashley Frank said the service enjoyed a quiet season.

"Our volunteers in the past have had such a torrid time in and around the district so it was nice for them to have a bit of a break this summer," he said.

"We did receive quite a number of calls for minor bush and grass related fires...but overall we're pleased to say we experienced a reasonably quiet season this year.

"With a couple of those fires there was the potential (for them to become bigger fires) but we were fortunate we got on top of those fires pretty quickly."

Although the Wingecarribee Shire didn't face any serious threat from bushfires this season, Superintendent Frank said the RFS had kept themselves busy with hazard reduction activities.

"We've done 12,000 hectares of hazard reduction in the last few weeks...and we plan to do more according to our risk management plan in this off season," he said.

Both Ms Ritchie and Superintendent Frank urged residents to work at safeguarding their properties against fire and storm damage during the off season.
