You can do more to fight against embers. Burning embers can ignite any build-up of flammable material around the home. Keeping your gutters clear is essential for reducing your risk. The more you prepare your home, the more likely it will survive a bush fire or ember attack, even if you leave early. Is your home prepared? Learn more at www.rfs.nsw.gov. au/prepare

Clear away doormats, wood piles, mulch, leaves and outdoor furniture from around your house to help prevent a bush fire from reaching your property. A well-prepared home is far more likely to survive a bush fire. Learn more: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/prepare
