Home Fire Safety Tips

Bunyip Fire Brigade > INFORMATION > Home Fire Safety Tips

Victorians have been reminded not to leave drying clothes too close to heaters after a fire engulfed a family home in Yarram this month. Fortunately the family was away at the time, but their dog sadly died in the fire.

Home Fire Safety Tips:

• Drying clothes should be kept at least one metre from the heat source.

• Smoke alarms are recommended for all bedrooms, living areas and hallways.

• Ideally, smoke alarms should be interconnected so they sound simultaneously when fire is detected.

• Families should make a Home Fire Escape Plan and practise it regularly.

Can We Fit?

Spare a thought that each minute counts in an emergency, you can help by clearing your property so we can gain access. Also, a well sign posted property and cleared water point/hydrant.
