Quick-thinking prevents garage fire from spreading to the house.

When a fire started in the Moore family’s garage, quick thinking helped prevent the fire from spreading further into their house.

Seeing thick, black smoke coming into the home from the garage, Linton and his daughter Olivia kept the internal door closed, immediately called Triple Zero and safely evacuated the property with their dogs.

Their quick actions helped make sure they were safe and prevented the fire from spreading through the home.

Working smoke alarms save lives and should be installed throughout the home in all bedrooms, hallways, living areas, garages and interconnected where possible, so when one alarm sounds, all alarms activate.

‼️Important safety information if you have a hidden safety mobile device‼️

During Monday’s (27th July) national test of the new AusAlert system at around 2pm AEST all compatible mobile devices in Australia will receive a Critical Alert at about the same time.

This means all devices will receive it and it will override your mobile devices settings even if it is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.

Also the alert may stay active for up to an hour.

AusAlert messages share important information, but they could make hidden safety devices easier to find.

If it’s not safe for you to receive the AusAlert national test on your devices please take these important steps:

⏰ Turn them off or put them in aeroplane mode at least one hour before the test.
📱 Keep them off or in aeroplane mode for 24 hours after the test.

Following the national test, if it’s not safe to receive AusAlerts on your hidden devices at any time, keep them turned off or in aeroplane mode until you need to use them.

If you’re concerned about your immediate safety, call 000

If you have concerns for your safety and would like further advice or support, call 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732)

For Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander services, call 13YARN (13 92 76)

School is back for term 3 and so are school speed zones.

Remember school speed zones are in place to keep kids safe by lowering the speed limit at peak times when children are travelling to and from school.

When children are around roads they can be unpredictable, quick moving and hard to see.

If you are driving around schools please slow down, pay attention, observe speed limits and be extra alert if you are dropping off or picking up kids.
