☀️ SUMMER IS COMING — ARE YOU FIRE READY?

Preparing for fire season doesn’t have to be complicated.

Our Get Fire Ready Open Day is a chance to come along, ask questions, learn some practical skills and start thinking about your own household fire plan.

We'll have fire trucks, kids’ activities, a virtual reality fire safety experience and plenty of opportunities to chat with local volunteers.

And while the kids are having fun, why not take a few minutes to think about:

🏠 What would you do if a fire threatened your property?
📱 Do you have the VicEmergency app?
👨‍👩‍👧 Does everyone in your household know the plan?
🔥 Are you prepared to leave early?

📅 Sunday 11th October
⏰ 10am–2pm
📍 Goornong Fire Station – 32 Bagshot Street

Come along. Get informed. Get prepared. Get Fire Ready.

💬 Encourage: Help them connect with someone who can support them.
