Bushfire Safety this Summer

A well-prepared home not only facilitates easier defence by you or firefighters but also minimizes the risk to neighbouring homes.

It also offers enhanced protection in case of a sudden fire threat when immediate evacuation becomes challenging.

We’ve got some handy hints below on how you can prepare for your home’s bushfire safety:

Clear your gutters of leaves and twigs
Install metal gutter guards for added protection
Address any damage or missing tiles on the roof promptly
Eliminate gaps by fitting seals around doors and windows, or seal existing gaps with sealant
Enclose the spaces beneath the house
Repair or cover any gaps in external walls
Attach a fire sprinkler system to gutters for an additional layer of defence
Keep lawns short and gardens well-maintained
Trim back trees and shrubs overhanging buildings
Remove fallen leaves, twigs, and debris around the property
Ensure hoses are long enough to reach all areas of your house
Regularly check and maintain adequate levels of home and contents insurance, ensuring it is up to date

If you have any questions about the above please feel free to reach out to any of our friendly staff today.

Remember, preparation is key, and taking these steps can make a significant difference in protecting your home and the homes of those around you.
