As the burn will generate smoke, hot embers and heat, it is important that you consider the following safety precautions:

  • Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering homes

  • Keep outdoor furniture under cover to prevent ember burns

  • Retract pool covers to prevent ember damage

  • Remove washing from clotheslines

  • Ensure pets have a protected area

  • If you have asthma or a lung condition, reduce outdoor activities

  • If you are driving a vehicle, slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on

  • If smoke levels are high and if shortness of breath or coughing develops, take your reliever medicine or seek medical advice

  • Never fly drones or Remote Piloted Aircraft near bush fires or hazard reductions, where other aircraft may be operating (penalties apply)

Hazard reduction is an important part of preparing for bush fires. It helps protect people, property and the environment.
