Fire Escape Kit

Is there a chance you might need to evacuate from a fire?
BUSHFIRES
Bushfires are one of Australia’s most serious emergencies. Every household that’s in a bushfire prone area needs a fire plan developed in conjunction with their local Rural Fire Service (RFS/CFA). Every fire plan should include an escape plan for unexpected nearby fires, or a plan for when it’s ‘too late to leave’.
