Don't get caught out this summer. Reduce your fuel load early to ensure your property is safe.

Take action with these 4 key steps and make sure you have a plan if the unforeseen happens.

1. Slashing / Mulching

Take the time to slash or mulch tall dry grass around the property. Don't forget laneways or grass around scrub and bush. Dry grass is really flammable in summer, it's important to take measures to eliminate as much dry scrub and grass as possible.

SLASHERS
MULCHERS
Slashers are excellent for covering large areas at a fast pace where a fine mulch is not required.
Mulchers are ideal for use with, Grass and Lawns, Scrub and Brush, Crop Residue and Prunings.

2. Stick Raking / Burn Off

Rake up fallen sticks, leaves and other dry flammable material. Secure a burn permit and safely burn it off. Also, take the time to backburn and plough your fire breaks to ensure your property is protected.

3. Clearing flammables from sheds

Clear out the shed, over time flammables can easily build up in workshops and sheds. Take some time to sort through the gear in the shed and where possible remove anything flammable or at least secure it. Also, take a look around the property and remove any diesel drums or other flammables that may be lying about.

4. Organising/servicing fire fighting equipment

It is critical that fire fighting equipment is ready to go when needed. Ensure all fire fighting equipment is serviced and ready to go. Replace or repair dam pumps and ensure hoses haven't sprung any leaks.
