Bushfires are a serious risk to life, the environment and properties located in both rural and urban areas.
Here are 10 tips from RealRenta to reduce the risk during bushfire season:
- Have at least one garden hose that reaches the perimeter of your property and ensure that all hoses and tap fittings are working
- Keep recycled newspapers and cardboard in safe places as they are highly combustible
- Do not store flammable liquids, gas bottles and paint close to your property
- Clean gutters, roof fittings and garden waste-dried garden waste is extremely flammable and a magnet for flying embers
- Keep any woodpiles well away from the property
- Prune back overhanging branches
- Keep lawns trimmed and rake away piles of dried leaves
- Don’t use BBQ’’s in bushfire conditions
- Arrange with your local council to have firebreaks cleared if your property is near bushland or parkland
- Share these tips with neighbours and talk to them about evacuation plans
