💧🔥 BE READY – CHECK YOUR WATER SUPPLY 🔥💧

If a bush fire threatens suddenly, having the right equipment ready can make a big difference.

Before bush fire season, make sure you have:
💧 A reliable water source – such as a pool, tank or dam
🚿 Hoses long enough to reach around your entire home
🏡 A well-prepared home gives you greater protection if a fire threatens suddenly and you’re unable to leave.

Prepare now, before you need it.

🔥 KEEP YOUR GUTTERS CLEAR 🏡🍂

Burning embers can travel ahead of a bush fire and ignite flammable material around your home.

🍂 Clear leaves, twigs and debris from your gutters regularly.
🔥 Remove built-up flammable material around your home.
🏡 Keep your property prepared and maintained.

The more you prepare your home, the more likely it is to survive a bush fire or ember attack — even if you leave early.
Small jobs now can make a big difference when it matters most.

Thank you, good luck and stay safe.

This weekend, the will deploy its CH-47D Chinook helicopter and a Bell 412 support aircraft to fight fires in France. This will mark the Service’s first-ever European deployment.

The aircraft will be accompanied by 24 highly skilled aerial and ground crew, and transported to France in partnership with the Australian Defence Force.

The Chinook, equipped with an 11,300-litre belly tank, has the largest payload of any firefighting helicopter in Australia. Working with the Bell 412, it is also capable of conducting waterbombing missions at night. Should it be tasked to do so in France, it will be the first time night-time waterbombing has been undertaken in the country.

Commissioner Trent Curtin says the deployment is a testament to the expertise of our aviation crews.

“We're proud to share that expertise with our international partners while strengthening the relationships that are so important when disasters occur around the world."
