The NSW Rural Fire Service Northern Tablelands Team have reminded the community to ensure they have a Bush Fire Survival Plan ready in the event of a fire.
Amid the bush fire season, the team is reminding everyone that it only takes one ember to start a fire, threaten a home, or put lives at risk.
In a social media post where they state a bush fire in Tingha can drop embers in Glen Innes, they stress now is the time to create or update Bush Fire Survival Plans, adding a good plan helps families know exactly what to do when a fire threatens — reducing stress, confusion and danger.
Plans should cover when you will leave, where to go if fire threatens, how you will get there, what essentials to take, and what you’ll do if you cannot leave.
A Bush Fire Survival Plan can be prepared in just a few minutes using the NSW RFS online tool: www.myfireplan.com.au
