Why Is Fire Hazard Reduction So Important?
Australian summers are long and hot with our bushfire seasons becoming more extended as the years pass. In the Yarra Ranges, many homes and businesses are surrounded by bushland and large trees that become very dry in the summer and pose a major fire hazard to properties and local communities.
It’s imperative for residents in this region to take necessary precautions against bushfires and practice safe hazard reduction methods to lessen the risk of fire damage to their homes and livelihood.
Some of the most common fire hazard reduction methods include:
- Back burning and hazard reduction burning to lessen the amount of fuel in one area. It’s performed by professionals in a safe and controlled environment
- Clearing the space around your home or business by mowing and slashing long grass, shrubs and vegetation and keeping the property clean and tidy
- Removing any trees and overhanging branches that are growing too close to homes and businesses
- Regularly cleaning roof gutters to remove dead branches, sticks, debris and leaf litter that has fallen in. This type of material is dry and highly flammable, making it one of the most common forms of bushfire fuel
