Could a fire truck access your home in an emergency?
When bush fires occur, firefighters need safe and reliable access to your property.
Truck sizes can vary, but a good consideration is our Cat 1 tanker which can be up to 7.8
metres long, 2.5 metres wide, and require a turning circle of approximately 22 metres.
Overgrown vegetation, narrow access tracks, low branches, soft ground, or locked gates
can delay emergency response and place crews at risk.
Inspect your property access before fire season and ensure emergency vehicles can enter
and exit safely. Good access helps firefighters protect your home, your family, and your
community.
The NSW Rural Fire Service recommends property access tracks and driveways have:
• A minimum width of 3.5 metres.
• A vertical clearance of 4 metres from overhanging branches or structures.
• Adequate turning space for large fire appliances.
• All weather surfaces capable of supporting heavy vehicles.
• Clearly accessible gates and entrances.
Clear access can help emergency services reach your property quickly when it matters.
