FireReady Kit

Prepare.Act.Survive LogoCFA has produced the FireReady Kit to help you understand your bushfire risk, prepare your property and develop a Bushfire Survival Plan based on your decision to leave early or to actively defend your property.

Not all homes can be defended from bushfire and survival must be your main priority.

The Kit includes five linking publications plus some smaller brochures. The five linking publications have been designed to work together in a sequence. To order a Kit please phone the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.

The FireReady Kit is now available in Plain text versions included below, as well as Audio Version. To order the publications on CD, call the VBIL 1800 240 667 or email hqcommsafe@cfa.vic.gov.au.
