Bushfire season: don’t risk trees too close to your house

Posted on January 9, 2020 9:34 am.

Hot, dry and windy days are ideal conditions for a bushfire.  You can take action to reduce fire hazards around your house.  Spot fires carried by high winds are one of the main causes of house fires during a bushfire.   We’ve put together a list of some of the steps you can take to lower the risk of embers starting spot fires or radiant heat starting fires in your garden:

Ways you can reduce the risk of bushfires at home

  • cut back overhanging branches from the roof and walls of any buildings or structures
  • clear your gutters of leaves and debris
  • trim shrubs and bushes from around the house and remove from under trees
  • remove dead trees or shrubs
  • remove bark hanging from trees
  • rake up dead leaves and twigs around garden
  • bury irrigation pipe well below the surface
  • remove flammable liquids away from house
  • keep lawn short
