Close blinds and curtains. Fill buckets, basins, bath and sink with water. Stay inside until the main fire has passed. Immediately inspect your property and put out any flames . Keep an eye on embers for at least 8 hours.
Fire can jump roadways and move faster than a speeding car.
If fires are close and you are sure they will reach your house, decide early if you are going to leave. Put a sign saying you have left in large letters on your front door. If you do stay you may save your house. You will also be in a better environment to survive than should flames overtake you on the open road. Notice I have put up outside my front door.
