12.01.2022 You don’t have to live right near the bush to be at risk. Even if your home is a few streets back, you may be at risk. Can you guess the main reason homes are lost to bush fires?

Cleaning gutters and patching holes or gaps in your roof is an effective way to protect your home from ember attack.
