Prepare for Bush Fire Season
As the bush fire season approaches, it's crucial for NSW residents and landowners to be aware of their risk and take steps to protect their homes and properties. To help you prepare, the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) hosts Get Ready Weekend events every September, providing valuable information and resources to ensure you're ready for the upcoming bush fire season.
These events, held across approximately 500 locations in NSW, aim to raise awareness and promote the Get Ready message and preparedness in your community.
By attending these events, you can gain insights into creating a Bush Fire Survival Plan, maintaining a defendable space around your property, and understanding Fire Danger Ratings. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with your local RFS brigade, access essential resources, and ensure you're well-prepared for the bush fire season.
