Are you fire ready?

We strongly recommend  all residents prepare and maintain their property in a ‘fire ready condition’. 

The CFA and Shire encourage all residents to have a bush fire plan for their family and property. Visit the CFA website or contact the VicEmergency Hotline on 1800 226 226 for further information.

Your safety may depend on your preparation, please check our emergency preparedness page for more information.
