Bushfire Safety

Most fatal fires are accidental and preventable. Fire home safety is about protecting you, your family and your home.
Smoke alarms
Smoke alarms are devices that detect smoke and sound an alarm, giving you valuable time to escape during a fire. Knowing how to install and maintain your smoke alarm could save your life.
Get out and stay out
During a fire, you have up to 2 minutes after the alarm before flames or smoke threaten your life. It's critical to be prepared by practicing an escape plan ahead of time—get out and stay out.
