Is your fireplan in place?

Summer is looming hot and dry this year, so if your home is close to the bush – or even within kilometres, as we have seen the impact of ember strike both here and in the devastating Los Angeles fires earlier this year – it is a good idea to have a plan in place.

It takes just a few minutes to make your plan. Discuss it with the family so everyone knows what to do in the event of a fire, such as when to leave, where to go etc. For those who are unsure where to start, visit myfireplan.com.au and tailor one to suit your situation.
