Prepare for the Bushfire Season

Living in a rural setting is a lifestyle choice for many of us, the benefits of living in a bush setting are what attract many people to the area, however the risks of this lifestyle choice cannot be ignored, as residents are also vulnerable to the risk of bushfire.

As much of the Port Pirie Region is a bushfire risk area there will be several days a year when people and property may be threatened by fire. Every rural resident needs to have a practical Bushfire Plan to know exactly what to do on these days.

A Bushfire Action Plan will increase personal survival chances and help protect homes.

Developing a Bushfire Plan is an important job that should not take more than just a few minutes and should involve the entire household. The flyer below contains valuable information on how to make your property bushfire ready:
