Fire and Pets

Are your beloved pets included in your fire plan?

Whether pets are at home with you, on holidays with you or moved on high fire risk days, you have to arrange a plan for their wellbeing when planning your own safety and that of you family and friends.

Please ensure you incorporate your pets in your Bushfire Survival Plan and plan what you'll do with your pets on high risk fire days.

In the event that you are leaving with your pets, please ensure you have an evacuation kit ready which caters for all your pets requirements.

Although it will be difficult, always consider your own safety ahead of your pets. In the event where you are leaving early and it comes a time that you are loading your pets in your vehicle and they run away or get out of a cage, you'll need to make a tough decision. Remember in an emergency situation people can panic and won't be able to think clearly. So please have a plan for this and consider your own safety and that of your family and / or friends first.
