The number 1 safest thing to do is leave early!!

When you are allowed to return into a Bushfire area after the flames have been, ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones is top priority.

We supply a range of kits for if the worst happens.

We love hearing from our customers!!

These pics come all the way from Canada!!!!

This is Jack, Jack's dad is a volunteer firefighter over there so a CFS firefighter friend of his sent over some of our hoodies for the kids and this is the result.

Jack would wear his hoodie 24/7 if he was able, Jacks older brother also loves his CFS merch and his little sister is just waiting to be big enough to get her own.

Thank you so much Jacks family and David for the photos.

If you have any pictures you don't mind us sharing, feel free to email them to "[email protected]" and we may just pop a post up for you too.

Lets talk - Gutter Bungs

Ever heard of them before?
Ever used one?

They are essentially small flame and water repellant bags filled with sand.
Place them in your gutters where they connect to the down pipes then fill your gutters with water. The b**g will stop the water from leaving your gutters giving you another level of protection from ember attacks.

The b**gs we supply are 200mmx250mm with at least 1kg of sand per bag enabling maximum efficiently. *Colour may vary dependant on availability.
