As we move into the Fire Danger Period across our electorate, it’s more important than ever to make sure your property is fire ready.
After a few milder, wetter years, there’s more fuel around than we’re used to, and that means a greater risk of fast-moving grassfires and bushfires this summer.
Preparation now will make a real difference when conditions heat up.
Take the time to clean up around your home: clear gutters, mow long grass, remove dry leaves and debris, and make sure access to your property is easy for emergency vehicles.
These are simple, practical steps that can save lives and homes.
It’s also a good time to sit down with your family and review your Bushfire Survival Plan. Knowing when to leave and where to go is just as important as preparing your property.
Talk to your neighbours too! Fire safety is something that brings us together as a community.
Our CFA volunteers do an incredible job keeping us safe, but they can’t do it alone. Every one of us can do our bit to reduce risk and stay prepared.
Please take warnings seriously, stay informed through the VicEmergency app or local radio, and act early if fire threatens.
By preparing now, we can give ourselves, our loved ones, and our local communities the best chance of getting through this fire season safely.
