⏰ Daylight saving has kicked in – but have you checked your smoke alarms?

These days, most of our phones, watches and devices change the time automatically, so changing the clocks might not be the reminder it once was.

But there’s one job still worth putting on the list to do this weekend — checking your smoke alarms ✔️

Working smoke alarms can provide the early warning you need to get yourself and your family safely out of your home in the event of a fire.

It only takes a few minutes, but a working smoke alarm could save your life.

While the clocks might change themselves these days, your smoke alarms still need you.

The Shoalhaven is forecast to experience HIGH fire danger conditions on Sunday 20th September 2026. As a result, all fire permits issued by the RFS have been suspended in the Shoalhaven for this time.
These conditions can create a real fire risk across our landscape. It's incumbent upon all of us to be cautious with the use of fire.
ONE EMBER CAN END IT - Embers from a fire can spread quickly and quite a distance, putting communities well away from the main fire at risk.
