Preparing your Yarra Valley Property for Bushfire Season

Well it’s that time of year again when everyone living in our Yarra Valley area has to start looking at preparing their properties for the upcoming fire season. Usually this is just a precaution and very rarely do we have to worry about it, but in that rare case that your home is threatened by a bushfire it is good to be organised.

The Country Fire Authority’s (CFA’s) website, www.cfa.vic.gov.au, has lots of great tips on preparing your house and property for the summer season. 

 

They recommend that anyone living in dense bushland areas, grassland and / or the coast prepare for the fire season and also have their individual fire plans ready. The CFA website can also provide you with tips on how to have the best fire plan.

 

As we have said many times before, everyone here at Andrew McMath Real Estate love living in our wonderful area. Unfortunately however, like many other areas in Australia we are at risk of bushfire during the hotter months so it is best to be prepared should one start.
