21.01.2022 A lucky escape but a stark reminder of the dangers of using machinery on very high fire danger days. Todays fire was started by a slasher working in the vineyard hitting a small piece of wire sparking and taking off across the paddock. Fortunately the property owner had put in a well constructed firebreak along the bush line which stopped it jumping into the state forrest. Thanks to the DABC crews who assisted us today. So before undertaking any friction based work, it is a...lways a good idea to check the fire danger ratings (www.emergency.wa.gov.au) and if the fire danger is Very High or above, leave the slasher, mower, chainsaw, wippersnipper mulcher in the shed Above all, make sure you also have a plan of what to do when there is a fire Vist mybushfireplan.wa.gov.au to download the app and make your plan today.

21.01.2022 Helping out in the Lower South West and working with other agencies to make Summers safer for all of our communities is a great part of volunteering. Thanks to all the crews and agencies it was a rewarding day to work alongside such a great group of people in Kulikup today.

01.01.2022 My Bushfire Plan With Summer rapidly approaching it is important you have a bushfire plan. Today DFES have launched the new Bushfire Plan website https://mybushfireplan.wa.gov.au and Bushfire Plan App For Apple https://apps.apple.com/au/app/my-bushfire-plan/id1540914064 or Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details All it takes is for one hot and windy day for a bushfire to rapidly escalate and threaten life and property.... Having a bushfire plan will help you take action and avoid making last minute decisions that could prove deadly during a bushfire. The new app will help you with three very important decisions you need to make: o When will you leave? o What will you take? o Where will you go? Talk to your local brigade about what you might need if you choose to stay and defend, being under resorced can prove deadly If you are not fully prepared to stay and defend, then you must leave early. My Bushfire Plan app The My Bushfire Plan app has been developed locally in WA and gives the community a simple platform to create a bushfire plan either online or by downloading the app. Once completed, users are presented with a clear bushfire plan they can print, save, share or update any time on their device, so it is easily accessible when bushfire threatens and they need to act quickly. My Bushfire Plan also includes preparation checklists, bushfire factsheets, links to Emergency WA for current bushfire information and seasonal bushfire preparation reminders. Stay safe this summer and Prepare early, Plan early and Leave early. Remember for updates on current fires in your area check https://www.emergency.wa.gov.au
