Bushfire is not only a threat to those in the bush. If you live
in an urban fringe or semi-rural area, you could also be at risk.
If you own a holiday house, caravan or
shack in a bushfire risk area, you need
to be prepared there as well.
Every summer brings several high bushfire
risk days when temperatures climb, often
accompanied by a hot north wind. These
days may be declared as a Total Fire Ban.
On a day of high bushfire risk you need
to have a clear bushfire plan.
If your decision is to stay and actively
defend your property, then you need to
put your bushfire plan into action. If
you have decided to leave the area, then
leave before a fire threatens and road
travel becomes hazardous.
