Victorians are being urged to prepare for the upcoming fire season, as part of CFA’s “Get Fire Ready” month during October.

CFA brigades are hosting activities at fire stations and community events to meet residents and provide practical advice on how they can plan for what may be an increased fire risk this summer.

“Get Fire Ready” focuses on helping householders understand their local bushfire and grassfire risks, including how to create a survival plan, and learning where to access emergency information.

Getting prepared doesn’t need to be complicated. Clearing gutters, mowing lawns and trimming branches around homes can reduce the chance of embers starting a fire.

Families are encouraged to make a fire plan that includes where they will go if a fire breaks out, and making sure they have set a watch zone in the VicEmergency app to receive alerts.

The “Get Fire Ready” events strengthen connections between CFA brigades and their local communities, ensuring everyone has the information they need.

All Victorians, particularly those in high-risk areas, are encouraged to attend a local event by visiting www.cfa.vic.gov.au/getfireready

You can also request a free “Get Fire Ready” pack to be sent to you by filling out an online form at the same website address.
