Getting ready for bushfire season is everyone's responsibility. Our volunteers in the Bush Fire Brigades, Fire & Rescue Service and State Emergency Service as well as the Shire's own staff, Department of Fire & Emergency Services and Department of Parks & Wildlife all do a remarkable job to keep us safe. Getting your own property ready will assist them in the event of an emergency.
So what should I do?
First and foremost, comply with the Firebreak and Fuel Hazard Reduction Notice
Prepare your property.
Do not rely on scheme water during a bushfire, download Water Corporation bushfire information.
Make yourself familiar with the alerts and warnings systems on the DFES website.
Create a bushfire plan.
After reading the DFES information, if you have any questions about being prepared, contact the Shire's Ranger and Emergency Services on 9771 7777.
