Use soapy water to spot leaks in your BBQ connections, bubbles mean trouble!

A grubby grill can cause fires that can't be put out with water. Keep the flames where they belong and clean your BBQ before you cook. Old fat is dangerous fat.

Spring is a good time to clear out what's built up around your home. Remove leaves and debris from gutters and cut back overgrown vegetation close to the house.

Keeping these areas clear can help reduce the risk as bushfire season approaches.

Spring cleaning is a good time to check what's hiding in the cupboard. Safely clear out old or unwanted household chemicals and keep anything you’re holding onto stored securely and in its original container.

Always dispose of unwanted chemicals safely. Contact your local council for information on upcoming Household Chemical Clean out events.

Spring cleaning? Clearing clutter is about more than tidying. Keep hallways, doors and windows clear so everyone can get out quickly in a fire.

Take a few minutes to check your escape routes while you're cleaning.

SMOKE ALARMS..............

Did you know that you will not smell smoke while asleep? Only working smoke alarms save lives.

Test that your smoke alarm/s are working. If not, change the batteries or replace the alarm.
Check the smoke alarm is in date. Smoke alarms have a lifespan of ten years.
Give the smoke alarm a vacuum, if you haven't done so in the last six months, to remove dust and any insects.
To meet legislation you must have at least one working smoke alarm on each level of the home placed between bedrooms and living areas, it's the law. FRNSW also recommends having one in each bedroom. Hardwired and interconnected is best.

A hazard reduction burn is planned to be undertaken at Fletcher (Newcastle LGA) on Friday 14th August 2026
If you live nearby, please consider doing the following:
- Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering buildings.
- Outdoor items such as outdoor furniture, trampolines, playground equipment etc should be either taken inside or covered. Where this is not practical, items should be hosed down regularly to prevent ember damage.
- Retract plastic or synthetic pool covers to prevent ember damage
- Remove washing from clothes lines.
- Ensure any outdoor pets have a sheltered area.
- If you have asthma or a lung condition, reduce outdoor activities. If smoke levels are high and if shortness of breath or coughing develops, take your reliever medicine or seek medical advice.
- If you are driving a vehicle, slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on.
Never fly drones or Remote Piloted Aircraft near bush fires or hazard reductions, where other aircraft may be operating. Penalties apply.
