All residents who live in bushfire prone areas are stongly encouraged to prepare their property for the potential effects of a nearby bushfire. This is because a well prepared property stands a much greater chance of surviving a fire than those where no action has been taken. If you live in a bushfire prone area it is also important that you know what to expect during the occurrence of bushfire as this will help you to make good decisions in an emergency situation.
As your local Rural Fire Brigade, we are able to provide you with advice that will assist with your preparation prior to each fire season. Our officers will happily discuss matters such as:
What to expect as a bushfire approaches
How fires affect houses and property
How to prepare your home and property to be more resistant to the effects of fire
Whether you will stay and actively defend your home when a bushfire threatens or whether you will relocate early
Either drop by the station (when manned) or call to make an appointment for an on site visit to your property (this is preferred). See our contacts page for how to get in touch with us.
