18.01.2022 Be careful with fire Bushfires happen every summer; they can start suddenly and without warning. If you live in or near bushland you need to understand the risks and dangers that bushfires cause. Remember that flames are not the only risk you face in a bushfire. Ember Attack... Ember attack occurs before, during and after a fire front passes. Embers are pieces of burning bark, leaves or twigs that are carried by the wind around the main fire creating spot fires. Spotting can be carried over half a kilometre from a fire. Embers can land in areas around your home such as your garden, under or in the gutters of your home and on wooden decks. If not extinguished, your house could catch fire. Bushfire Fact Sheet Radiant Heat ! First Aid Accidents often happen during bushfires due to poor visibility, high stress and increased adrenalin levels. This leads to confusion, poor decision making, loss of concentration and tunnel vision. You should be aware of the likelihood of injury while carrying on fire protection/suppression activities (eg burns, cuts, and falls). You should ensure that you have a well-stocked first aid kit as part of you survival kit, know what contents are in the kit and how to treat potential injuries such as burns, cuts and falls. The hotter , drier and windier the day, the more intense a bushfire will be and the more radiant heat it will generate. Radiant heat can cause injury and death from burns and cause the body’s cooling system to fail, leading to heat exhaustion and possible heart failure. It is important that you include water and appropriate clothing in your emergency kit and consider where you will shelter during a bushfire to protect yourself from radiant heat. Smoke Lung injuries and suffocation can occur where the body is exposed to smoke and super-heated air. It is important to seek shelter when heat and smoke are most intense. Your nose and mouth should be covered with a dust mask, wet towel or scarf. Association Of Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades of WA (Inc) Shire of Murray Volunteering WA

05.01.2022 Understand that no warning system is foolproof. Remember, fires can happen suddenly and change quickly, so don’t rely on receiving a warning. It’s your responsibility to stay informed and alert.... Be flexible get emergency information from multiple sources and never rely on any one source of information.
