🚒 Eltham CFA will be firing up the barbie at Bunnings Eltham this Saturday (30/5). Come and meet your local volunteer fire fighters and support them by purchasing a snag or drink.

Monies raised will go directly towards the purchase of new upgraded equipment and the ongoing maintenance costs.

Whilst there, chat with our members about Winter Home Fire Safety. 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒

Thanks for your support.
Stay safe.

🏠 Home Fire Escape Planning
No matter what type of home you live in, it’s essential to know exactly what to do if a fire occurs. Being prepared helps you act quickly, stay safe and protect the people you care about when every second matters.
• Draw your home’s floor plan and identify two ways out of every room - Take time to map out exits, windows and pathways and discuss these with everyone you live with, including where your going to meet outside. Practice your plan regularly so you all become confident.
• Stay low and out of the smoke - If there is a fire, get down low where the air is cleaner and crawl to the nearest safe exit.
• Alert others as you escape - Warn people on your way out by calling out "fire, fire!". If it’s safe, close doors behind you to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
• Get out and stay out - Never go back inside for belongings, instead go to the safe meeting place outside your home, such as the letterbox or front gate.
• Call 000 and ask for FIRE - Once you’re safely outside, call emergency services and clearly request the fire brigade.
