Bushfire season is upon us again so it’s time to get your property ready especially if you live within 100m of bushland. Even houses 500m from bushland can be at risk as sparks from main fires can trigger house fires hundreds of metres ahead, particularly if there are leaves in gutters, dry vegetation lying around or evaporative air conditioners on rooves.
This picture opposite shows just how ferocious fire can be.
