    Key topics

  • Home Fire Safety

    The key to reducing the risk of fire occuring in your home and to surviving a house fire is being prepared. Everyone in your household should understand what risks there are in your home and what to do to minimise them.

  • Smoke Alarms

    Legislation requires all NSW residents must have at least one working smoke alarm installed on each level of their home. This includes owner-occupied rental properties, relocatable homes or any other residential building where people sleep.

  • Bushfire risk

    Bushfires can be devastating. With an increasing number of people living in or near bushland, on semi-rural or urban residential estates, on the outskirts of our cities or towns, there are increasing numbers of people living with the threat of bushfire.
