This is not a comprehensive list by any means but is a starting guide to help identify things you can do around your house or business.

1       Clean the gutters of your roof

2       Mow and remove any long grass

3       Clean under your house and business– If possible enclose so sparks can’t get in

4       Tidy up the wood pile

5       Ensure roof is firmly fixed and if tiles has fire retardant insulation

6       Direct relief value on LPG tank away from house

7       Install gate value to water tanks (38mm Storz coupling)

8       Develop and maintain your garden so it is free of limbs, mulch etc but also has paths and paving which can help establish a fire  break. Remember though, don’t plant all your trees and shrubs in a row towards your house – Space them out a little

9       Install metal fly wire or solid screens to spark proof windows, doors, ventilators and sky lights

10     Store flammable fuels and chemical away from the house and secure in an enclosed shed.

11     Fill your big garbage bins with water and have potato sacks stored in your shed which can be wet down to extinguish embers

12     Have a emergency kit – Radio, batteries, torch and mobile phone stored in an easy to find area in case you lose electricity supply

13     Have a going away kit ready to grab with your clothes, most important items and documents preferably in a fire proof container
