FLINDERS BRIGADE OPENS IT’S DOORS TO GET FIRE READY
Flinders Fire Brigade will be opening its doors on Sunday, 5 October from 10 am till 12 noon to help the community ‘Get Fire Ready’.
Community members are encouraged to drop in and chat to their local CFA volunteers about cleaning up their property, creating a fire plan and where to get emergency information by downloading the VicEmergency app.
Flinders Fire Brigade will have a range of information available to get you started or remind you how to prepare for the coming fire season.
Flinders Captain Nick Clarke is encouraging the local community to come down and meet the brigade.
“Connecting with our community is vital for our ongoing relationships but also to ensure our area is well prepared for a major emergency,” Nick said.
“This Open Day gives us the chance to encourage community members to take action and to assist them with their fire plan and general property preparedness.
“Fire safety is a joint responsibility, and we need the community to do their part in assisting us so we can continue to protect lives and property.
“It’s important for residents to be aware of their local dangers so they can act accordingly.
“We’re always here to help and this Get Fire Ready event is a great way to have that open discussion with our local community.”
CFA is also encouraging Victorians to know where to get timely information during an emergency.
Please download the VicEmergency app, set up your watch zones to your residential and travelling location, and listen to local emergency broadcasters such as ABC.
