Bunnings Warehouse Caringbah,Kirrawee,Kingsgrove and Rockdale are teaming up with the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) for the annual Get Ready Weekend that aims to help locals get in the know about fire season preparedness.
Everyone is encouraged to visit their local Bunnings for free Bushfire Preparedness D.I.Y. Workshops on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September at 12:30pm.
The D.I.Y. Workshops will offer helpful advice and handy tips on how you can prepare your home to be bushfire ready throughout the Aussie summer.
NSW RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said the Service's annual Get Ready Weekend campaign is a great chance for local families to learn simple but vital steps that will make a big difference in the event of a bushfire.
“Preparing for bush fires is easier than people may think, it could be as simple as mowing your lawn, clearing debris and flammable materials on your property, cleaning your gutters and talking to your family about what you would do if a bush fire was to start near them,” Commissioner Fitzsimmons said.
