As the temperatures drop, staying warm safely becomes more important than ever this winter ❄️🔥

Never leave heaters running while you sleep, overnight heating can quickly become a serious fire risk for you and your family.

Winter safety reminders:
🔥 Turn heaters off before bed
🔥 Keep heaters at least 1 metre from bedding, curtains and furniture
🔥 Never dry clothes directly on heaters
🔥 Check your smoke alarms are working

A warm home should also be a safe home. 🚒

Love a candle-lit dinner… or just love candles in general? 🕯️✨

Candles might create a cosy atmosphere but they can also become a serious fire risk if not used safely.

If you’re using candles or any open flame in the home:
🔥 Never leave them unattended
🔥 Keep them away from curtains, bedding and decorations
🔥 Blow them out before leaving the room or going to sleep
🔥 Keep them out of reach of children and pets

And most importantly, make sure you have working smoke alarms installed throughout your home, especially in areas where flames or heaters may be used.

A little ambience isn’t worth risking your home or your family’s safety. 🚒

⚠️ Important Warning for Rural Property Owners & Farmers ⚠️

Recent reports out of the Wangaratta region have highlighted the tragic loss of livestock after animals gained access to ash and debris from a burn pile containing treated timber.

Many treated timbers including old fence posts and landscaping timber contain chemicals such as arsenic, which can become highly toxic once burnt.

🔥 Important reminders when conducting burn-offs:
• Never burn treated timber
• Keep livestock well away from burn piles and ash sites
• Be mindful of dumping garden clippings near paddocks or fires
• Some common garden plants can also be deadly to livestock

Please stay safe and protect your animals, property and community. 🚒🐄

This National Volunteer Week, we want to take a moment to recognise and thank every single volunteer who gives their time, energy and commitment to support our community through Springhurst CFA.

Coming off the back of one of the busiest fire seasons we’ve seen in recent years, our volunteers have once again stepped up, responding to incidents, protecting homes and property, supporting neighbouring brigades, attending training, maintaining equipment and always being ready when the pager goes off. 🚒🔥

To all our brigade members, support volunteers, families, employers and everyone who helps make volunteering possible, thank you!
Your commitment does not go unnoticed and our community is stronger because of you.

From all of us at Springhurst CFA
Happy National Volunteer Week and thank you for everything you do. ❤️🚒
