All Residents
Although winter provides a respite from the risks and dangers of bush fires, it does present new risks in the home due to the increased use of stoves, ovens, heaters, clothes dryers and other electronic equipment.
A fire can take hold in 3 minutes
but it only takes seconds to prevent one.
A recent advertisement shown on television demonstrates how quicky a fire can take hold (in 3 minutes), and how easy it is for a fire to be avoided. Along with this advertisement (which you can view online), comes other information and advice about how to reduce the risk of a fire in your home this winter.
Visit the "It only takes 3 minutes" website to find out more about what you can do to keep your family safe.
