BUSH FIRE SEASON IS APPROACHING
ARE YOU READY?
🚒 NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE | GET READY NOW!
With bush fire season upon us, now is the time to prepare your home, protect your family and get ready for the warmer months ahead.
Don’t wait until a fire is approaching to make a plan. A little preparation now can make a big difference later.
✅ HERE’S HOW YOU CAN PREPARE:
🏡 Prepare your property
* Clear leaves and debris from gutters.
* Keep grass short and trim overhanging branches.
* Remove flammable materials from around your home.
* Check access to your property for emergency vehicles.
📝 Make a Bush Fire Survival Plan
* Decide what you and your family will do if a fire threatens.
* Know where you will go and when you will leave.
* Include children, pets and livestock in your plan.
* Talk to everyone in your household so they know what to do.
🎒 Get ready to leave
* Prepare an emergency kit with important documents, medications, clothing, water and essential supplies.
* Keep your phone charged and your vehicle ready.
* Identify a safe place to go before a fire starts.
📱 Stay informed
* Download the Hazards Near Me NSW app.
* Check the NSW RFS website for fire danger ratings and local warnings.
* Follow official advice and know the safest route out of your area.
⚠️ REMEMBER: LEAVING EARLY IS THE SAFEST OPTION.
Never wait until it is too late. Fires can spread rapidly, and conditions can change without warning.
Let’s all do our part to keep our families, properties and community safe this bush fire season.
