Spring isn't just the season of pretty flowers, and hay fever, its also the season of preparing your home for summer!

Here are some simple ways to reduce your fire risk this summer:

🌿 Reduce vegetation and embers risk
Clear long grass, leaves, bark and fine fuels
Trim overhanging branches and prune shrubs near your home
Remove flammable items from decks, gutters and verandas

🏠 Improve fire resilience of your home by sealing gaps, upgrading doors, windows and your roof to block embers

🌱 Choose low-flammability plants and maintain your garden

🔥 Manage burning activities responsibly– Only burn-off outside the Fire Danger Period and register you burns

🚗 Know when to leave and prepare a plan
Write and practise your Bushfire Survival Plan
Plan to leave early – not when fire or smoke is visible

📢 Stay informed – Monitor Fire Danger Ratings and Total Fire Ban updates throughout the season. This can be done via the VicEmergency App.

Daylight saving starts tonight which means that clocks go forward one hour. ⏰

It’s the perfect time to check your smoke alarms and make sure they’re working properly.

To test your smoke alarm:
1️⃣ Press and hold the test button until the alarm beeps three times.
2️⃣ Gently dust or vacuum around your smoke alarm to remove any dust.
3️⃣ Replace the batteries in removable smoke alarms every year.
4️⃣ Replace your smoke alarms every 10 years.

A quick check could save a life! 🔥✅🔔🚨

We send our deepest condolences to Victoria Police who are mourning the loss of two officers in the line of duty today.

Our thoughts are with their families, colleagues and the broader Victorian community.

This is a devastating loss that is being felt right across our emergency services family.
