Whether you rent or own your home, you can take these actions to prepare for bushfire season:
• trim overhanging trees and shrubs
• mow grass and remove the cuttings from around your home
• dispose of material that can burn, like wood piles and furniture
• clear debris from your gutters to stop embers causing a fire
• install a sturdy hose or hoses that can reach around your home and make sure you’ve got a reliable source of water.
Preparation is key. Make a plan for what you and your family will do in the event of a bushfire. It only takes a few minutes and could save your life.
