Community Fire Safe is a free CFS program that could save you and your family this summer.

By actively participating in a Community Fire Safe group and planning ahead, you and your neighbours can develop strategies that fit your lifestyle, environment and bushfire risk.

Community Fire Safe is all about taking control of your own bushfire safety.

• Make informed decisions when it counts
