The fire danger period for the City of Melton started on 9 January and will continue until the CFA declares the end of the period.
The CFA has urged the community to use common sense and take responsibility for preventing fires. Bushfires start quickly, often without warning and can threaten lives and properties within minutes.
The City of Melton’s beautiful natural landscape and closeness to the green wedge means we must be vigilant to the risk of fires. Homes and properties across our city back onto grasslands and bushland.
Everyone has a part to play in preparing our homes and community for fire season. You don’t have to live in the country or on a large property to be at risk of fire.
Keeping our yards and gutters clear and making sure you have a plan for your family in the event of a fire or evacuation is everyone’s responsibility.
