HELP US TO HELP YOU There is much information online about the risks to you, your family and your property. Please read it and discuss it with friends and family. And then act. Make time before an emergency. Do you have a fire plan? Do you all understand it and agree to it? Do you agree when you should leave your property? Can your family describe where you are to a Triple Zero operator? Is your property clearly marked so we can find it easily, in the dark? Can a large, heavy fire truck access your property? WE will do our best to help you in an emergency. YOU can do so much before we get there. CFA SITES About Bushfire Warnings - understand the warnings you may receive. But remember a fire may impact you before information about it can be broadcast. Go outside and look - can you see or smell smoke? Is the wind pushing it towards you?
