AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices during local and national disasters. AusAlert messages keep communities informed so they can take action, saving lives and property.

The AusAlert system will be tested nationally on the 27th July with Victorian testing to take place at 2pm. AusAlert will not replace the VicEmergency App.

🔥 Home Heating & Fireplace Safety Tips

Heaters are a major cause of home fires, especially during the winter months when they’re used more often and longer.

• Have all heating systems serviced regularly.

Ensure heaters, flues and chimneys are cleaned and maintained by a certified technician to keep them operating safely.

• Turn off heating and extinguish open fires before leaving or going to sleep

Never leave heaters running or fires burning unattended.

• Keep flammable items at least 1 metre from heat sources.

Maintain a clear safety zone around heaters, fireplaces and other appliances that produce heat.

• Supervise children around heaters and open fires.

Keep kids at a safe distance and teach them about heat‑related dangers.

• Always use a screen in front of an open fire.

A fire screen prevents sparks and embers from escaping. Ensure embers are completely cold before disposing of them.

We would like to thank our members for their hard work today, and provide a special shout-out to the team at Tannery Lane Sand and Soil for donating some high quality landscaping materials for use during our project.
