Bushfire embers can travel kilometres ahead of a fire front, and they don't need much to catch. A gutter full of leaves, twigs or other debris is one of the easiest ways for embers to ignite your roof.

Strengthening your home against bushfire means looking beyond a quick clean. Clearing gutters and downpipes regularly is a good start, but for real resilience, consider upgrading to non-combustible gutters and gutter guards, and check for debris build-up along ridge lines, valleys and roof penetrations too.

The ACCC has released an important update regarding fire extinguishers marketed for use on lithium-ion battery fires.

The ACCC has highlighted that:

• There is currently no applicable Australian safety standard covering the use of extinguishers on lithium-ion battery fires.

• These products and associated marketing materials should clearly state that they are ONLY suitable for use by trained fire-fighting professionals.

• They should not be marketed as suitable for use by members of the general public.

Fire authorities advise members of the public to evacuate to a safe place, call 000 and not attempt to extinguish lithium-ion battery fires themselves.
