KEEP AN EYE OUT, MINIMBAH!

Over the next couple of weeks, the Minimbah RFB crew will be out and about dropping off pamphlets to invite you to our Get Ready Weekend Open Day!

Keep an eye on your letterbox — but it might also be tied to your gate or fence!

Don’t miss it! Come along, meet your local volunteers, have a chat and get ready for the upcoming fire season.

Plan what you will take in advance and consider keeping a go-bag so you’re ready to move quickly. Remember to bring important documents such as passports and birth certificates and medical prescriptions. Also, ensure you pack changes of clothes, water, non-perishable food, chargers, and any medications you may need. It may be some time before it will be safe for you to return home.

Do you know your fire danger ratings?

Fire danger ratings:

❌ don't show how likely a bushfire is to start or how dangerous current fires are
✅ do show how difficult it will be to control/suppress a fire on the day
✅ are based on weather and fuel conditions.

🔥 Warnings are issued for extreme or catastrophic fire danger ratings.

Know your weather. Know your risk.

In an emergency, every second counts.

Make sure your property entrance is clearly signed, easy to identify from the road, and fitted with visible property numbers at the main gate or fence line.

This is especially important in rural and semi-rural areas where properties can be difficult to locate at night, in smoke, or during fast moving bush fires.

Clear property identification helps firefighters reach you faster when it matters most.

Take a few minutes to check your signage and ensure your property can be easily identified in an emergency. It could save valuable time when help is on the way.

Where will you and your family go to stay safe?
Your family may not be together when you decide to leave, so it’s important to organise a meeting place. Not all evacuation centres cater for pets, so if you have pets, consider places that allow them to stay too.
