Fires don’t just happen in the country, if you live near grasslands, parks or paddocks, you are at risk of grassfires.
Grassfires can be just as dangerous as bushfires – grass is the most predominant fuel type in Australia. It ignites very quickly, burns rapidly and can travel at speeds of up to 25 Kilometres per hour. 
In rural areas, if a grassfire starts, you should leave as early as possible and move to built up areas well away from the fire.

There’s no questioning the facts, even urban areas can be at risk.
