Families and household members are encouraged to be across their individual Bushfire Plans which animals (livestock, pets and companion animals) play an important part in.
Maintaining fuel-free firebreaks is essential, including around boundaries and laneways, sheds, yards and storage areas, water supply infrastructure, fuel storage and powerlines.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development has provided resources on Fire on farms in Western Australia – Reducing the risks.
This includes a link to the DFES website where a free online Bushfire Plan template can be downloaded which takes 15 minutes to complete.
