17.01.2022 In an emergency it is difficult to think clearly especially if you have never been in that situation before. If you live near areas that have significant bush, forest, long grass, or coastal scrub, then you need to plan ahead for what you are going to do if a fire was to occur. Taking steps now to be prepared before the fire season arrives means you will know what to do when you’re at risk of fire. Your plan should be written, and preferably well-practised, and it will help y...ou remember what needs to be done during a crisis. For detailed information about creating a summer fire plan visit https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/your-bushfire-plan Always remember that leaving early early before there are any signs of a fire not when you can see flames or smell smoke is always the safest option to protect yourself and your family.

17.01.2022 To reduce the risk of starting a fire, make sure you are following the rules for what you can and can’t do over the Fire Danger Period and on a Total Fire Ban ...day For more information visit https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/can #every1comeshome #firedangerperiod #totalfireban #canicanti #knowtherules

16.01.2022 When preparing your bushfire survival plan, you also need to plan and prepare for the safety of your pets. What will you do with your pets on days of high fire danger? https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/pets-and-bushfires

15.01.2022 What will you do with your pets on high fire danger days? - If you are leaving early with your pets, remember to prepare your pets as well; have bedding, food a...nd water ready to go and make sure you can transport them always put your own safety before the safety of your pets. - Know where you could house your pets if you decide to leave early. This may include boarding kennels, a relative/friend’s place or you may be able to keep them with you. - If you choose to keep your pets with you, confine them early. Pets are safest inside a secure room, on a lead or in carriers. Make sure they have plenty of water to drink. - Have towels and woollen blankets available to cover and protect your pets. - Discuss with neighbours about protecting your pets if you are not at home during a bushfire. Keep in regular contact with your neighbours during the fire danger period to let them know your plans. - Keep your Bushfire Relocation Kit for pets within easy reach so you are ready to leave early. #doggysafety #petsafety #keephydrated
