WANDONG FIRE BRIGADE
Only Working smoke alarms save lives. Do you know
someone in the community who needs assistance?
New smoke alarms that have a 10-year lifespan ensure families can feel the highest level of security. Working smoke alarms are your best defense against preventable residential fires, especially during the night, when people lose their sense of smell. These new alarms provide the security of knowing you and your family are protected, while ensuring you’re not interrupted every year with a nagging smoke alarm.
Wandong Fire Brigade are participating in a program assisting older or vulnerable members of the community to have 10-year smoke alarms installed in their homes, at no cost to them. If you need assistance with having working smoking alarms installed in your home, please call Yvette on 0417 545 228 or contact us via our Facebook page.
Preparing your property for Fire Season
The weather is warming up and it is time to think about the upcoming fire season. Take a walk around your house and property and see what needs to be cleaned up. Please remember to call the Burn-Off Line to register your burn on 1800 668 511, before you light up. Mitchell Shire Council allows burning off, in town areas, on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 10am and 3pm.
