You must have well maintained resources and equipment and know how to use them.

Remember, while firefighters and emergency services will do everything they can to help you, there is no guarantee there will be a fire truck available when you need it.

Prepare a Bushfire Emergency Kit so you will be equipped to extinguish small ​fires and have basic protection from heat, smoke and flames.

It's possible that water, electricity and mobile networks will shut down.

Make sure your equipment is well maintained and you know how to use it.
