🎉 ALERT: The Season is Changing! 🔥
Tomorrow is November 1st, which means it's officially the start of the 2025-26 Fire Danger Season!
This is the serious bit: being prepared isn't just a chore—it's how we keep our whole community safe and sound. Think of it as your summer V.I.P. Pass to peace of mind.
Time for a fun, fast Bushfire Safety Plan Check-In! 📝
🎒 The "Go-Bag" Challenge (a.k.a. Your Emergency Treasure Chest)
Have you got your emergency plan locked down? Let's check a few essentials that make all the difference:
* 🏃 "When We're Outta Here!" Time: Have you organized the exact trigger for when you will leave in an emergency? Don't wait until the last minute—plan it now!
* 📍 Your Safe Space: Do you have a place to go? A friend's house in town? A pre-arranged spot outside the danger zone?
* 📸 The Go Bag: This is the most fun part! Is your emergency bag packed with the basics, PLUS those precious family photos and things you can't replace?
* 💧 Drinking Water: Check!
* 🩹 First Aid Kit: Check!
* 🔑 Essential Documents & Phone Charger: Double Check!
* 🐶 Pet Prep: Don't forget your furry, scaly, or feathered family members! They need a plan and a bag too!
Let's make this Fire Danger Season the most prepared one yet! Drop a 🔥 in the comments once you've checked these off!

Can we get to you in an emergency? Time to start thinking about clearing your properties. Wether it be a bushfire or structure fire, if there is good access, the sooner we can get to work! Can we fit in your yard?

Drills start at 0930 with a BBQ lunch to follow. So come along, bring your kids and friends and watch your local Firefighters in action. Who knows?
