Spring has sprung and it’s time to prepare your property for the Fire Danger Period.

Landowners & Community residents everywhere should be preparing their properties well before the start of the Fire Danger Period.

A lot of things can be done in the garden and around the home to improve the chances of surviving the impact of a bushfire or fast moving grassfire. Now is the time to clean up leaves, twigs, bark and long grass around the home as fires cannot be lit in the open air during the Fire Danger Period without a written permit from CFA or a Municipal Fire Prevention Officer.

During the Pre-Fire Danger Period clean up, if you plan to burn those piles of fallen branches, bark and leaves, call the VicFire Burn-off notification line on 1800 668 511 to avoid an unnecessary fire brigade call out.

There are even greater restrictions for Total Fire Ban days due to the greater risk of fire.

To view or download the Can I or Can’t I brochure, & to find lots of Fire Safe tips & information: go to the CFA website www.cfa.vic.gov.au or call 1800 226 226

In the interest of Community Preparedness and Prepare Act Survive .. lets all be as Ready & as Safe for the Summer Fire Season ahead, as possible.
