Young children aged between 0-4 are at high risk of home fire fatalities,
burn and scald injuries due to fires, and fire play in the home. CFA and FRV recommend that you put smoke alarms in all sleeping areas, especially the areas of one of our most high risk age groups, children under the age of 10.
If you have young children or close the door for them to sleep, make sure to put smoke alarms in to them and check regularly that they are working. For more information on keeping young ones safe from fire in our homes, visit, https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/fires-in-the-home/early-fire-safe-program

People who are over 65 or who have a disability are more likely to be affected by disasters, including home fires and bushfires. In Australia, 62% of the people who died in home fires between 2003 and 2017 had a disability.
CFA (Country Fire Authority) and FRV (Fire Rescue Victoria) are working together to reduce these unacceptable statistics.

If you work in the Aged Care and/or Disability Care Sector, this page is your hub to find what you are looking for.https://engage.cfa.vic.gov.au/projects/fire-safety-for-the-care-sector
Here you can find surveys, projects, resources, links, and information designed to empower service providers and support workers in enhancing home fire and bushfire safety for the people they care for.

Did you know that almost two thirds of people who die in house fires have a disability?
On average, 18 people die in preventable residential house fires in Victoria every year.
CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria have an online learning module to support at risk people with planning for fire emergencies at home.
Prevent, Detect, Escape – Home Fire Safety for people at higher risk is made for people at increased fire risk, and for people who support or care for them. www.cfa.vic.gov.au/atrisk

The national test of AusAlert is happening on Monday 27 July 2026 at around 2pm AEST. ��

AusAlert sends near-instant emergency messages to compatible mobile devices like mobile phones, tablets and smart watches. It uses vibration, sound and on-screen messages to get your attention.

If your device receives the national test, it will vibrate and make a loud siren-like sound for 10 seconds before stopping. As the national test is a Critical Alert, this happens even if your device is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.

You may receive this test while driving, riding or using public transport. ��

If you are driving or riding, stay calm and don’t touch your device. ⚠️

The alert may also play through your vehicle’s speakers using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or Bluetooth and may interrupt navigation or media like music or podcasts. ��

��Mobile phone laws still apply – don't read or respond to the alert while operating a vehicle. Only check the message
when your vehicle is turned off and it is safe and legal to do so.

�� If you receive an alert while on public transport, stay calm. Don't approach the driver about the alert.

This is just a test, and you do not need to do anything. You should always follow instructions or announcements from public transport staff.

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices.

It will be ready to use in October 2026, but before it launches, we need to test the system across Australia.

On Monday 27 July, your mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.

The test times across Australian time zones are:

• 2:00 pm AEST (QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS)

• 1:30 pm ACST (SA, NT, Broken Hill NSW)

• 12:00 pm AWST (WA)

The message will vibrate and include a loud, siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds. If this could disrupt you or cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in your location, and leave them off for at least one hour.

As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything, but in an actual disaster you should follow the alert instructions to keep yourself and others safe.

🔧 Shed, Garage & BBQ Fire Safety Tips

Fires can grow rapidly when items like gas cylinders, petrol cans and other chemicals are present.

Reduce your risk by removing unnecessary fuels and storing essential items safely and away from heat sources.

• Store chemicals safely
Keep petrol, paints, solvents, and other chemical products in approved containers, away from ignition sources and out of reach of children.

• Dispose of unwanted chemicals correctly
If you no longer need certain chemicals, take them to a proper disposal facility. Never pour them down drains or throw them in household rubbish.

• BBQ safely by checking hoses and connections
Regularly inspect gas hoses for cracks, brittleness, or wear. Check all connections for leaks before use, a simple soapy‑water test can help identify escaping gas.
