Is your property<br />
safe from fire?<br />
Here’s a guide to help understand<br />
the risk in your area<br />
During the fire season, there are some risks you need to know about to help keep you,<br />
your family and your property safe.<br />
Throughout New Zealand, there are different levels of risk, depending on where you<br />
live and what the area around you is like. As we build more and more homes in<br />
previously rural areas, the level of risk is different to properties built in a more urban<br />
setting. Make sure you check your property and are aware of your surroundings so<br />
you can be best prepared this fire season.<br />
Steps you need to take to keep your property safe<br />

Make sure you have a ‘safe zone’ around your property<br />
- Clear vegetation close to your home. This could fuel a fire if one started.<br />
- Choose plants with low flammability – native plants are often better.<br />
- Keep your lawns mowed and green.<br />
- Don’t store firewood close to the house.<br />
- Clear your gutters of dry leaves.<br />
- Be careful when using any mechanical equipment in dry conditions.<br />
Have an escape plan and an agreed safe meeting place<br />
- Go to www.escapeplanner.co.nz to make a plan to get out of your<br />
home safely and agree a safe meeting place. Practise this regularly.<br />
- Think about where you will meet if you need to evacuate the area.<br />
- Have an emergency evacuation kit in case you need to leave quickly.<br />
- If in doubt, leave early.<br />
Good access for firefighters<br />
- Fire trucks need a lot of space to manoeuvre. Make sure there are no<br />
overgrown trees or other obstacles that may prevent access to your<br />
property.<br />
- We can pump from water supplies such as a pond, pool or tank.<br />
- Make sure your address or RAPID number is clearly visible.<br />
The fire risk applies to everyone, no matter where you live.<br />
