Prepare your home for upcoming fire season

As the weather starts to heat up and bushfire season approaches, residents are encouraged to take easy and cost-effective measures to safeguard their homes.

Some of these measures include trimming overhanging tree branches, maintaining short grass, and clearing debris near your home that could easily ignite in a fire. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that your property is accessible to emergency vehicles and has a readily available water supply for firefighting purposes. If you have a rainwater tank near your home, make sure it is easily accessible.
