Tips to prepare your home when the fire is coming

Leave immediately if the fire is close

Only do the following activities if it safe to do so:

• Close all doors and windows
• Make sure your “grab bag” is ready
• Turn off the electricity and gas supplies
• If possible, remove gas cylinders and paraffin bottles
• Put curtains, flammable wall linings and furniture into the middle of a room so they cannot be burned as easily
• Clear any flammable items next to homes away
