Bush fire season is a time for everyone to exercise care and caution, and to be aware of bush fire activity in your area. With three quarters of Lake Macquarie City identified as bush fire prone, being prepared for any emergency is your best defence.

To help you prepare, the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) hosts Get Ready Weekend events every September, providing valuable information and resources to ensure you're ready for the upcoming bush fire season.
Contact your local RFS brigade to learn more about the Get Ready Weekend events happening near you.
