Our local CFA brigades have already been hard at work ensuring our communities are kept safe ahead of summer and the fire danger period.

While our volunteers are doing their best, they are also encouraging everyone to check and make sure your property is prepared and that you are aware of what to do on high-fire risk days.

There are several ways to prepare your property, whether it be clearing trees and vegetation, landscaping, home improvements or approved burn-offs.

When it comes to high-fire risk days, having a clear evacuation plan in place is crucial, as is following the advice of emergency services personnel.

With warm weather just around the corner, I want to extend my thanks to our selfless and dedicated emergency service volunteers across all of our regional communities.

I encourage everyone to thank these heroic individuals and ensure you are prepared to make their lives as easy as possible at what will undoubtedly be a busy and challenging time.

More information on how to ensure your property is safe is available at cfa.vic.gov.au/prepare
