There are currently 8 vegetation fires (3 going, 2 contained & 3 being patrolled). Would a fire truck be able to access your property to help you? Time to make a plan people! In some cases, firefighters may be able to help you defend your home. If your home is set back from the road and a fire truck needs to use your driveway, it should have a minimum width of 4 metres, clear to a height of 4 metres. Any bush for 2 metres either side of the driveway should be cleared as for the outer zone. The inner radius of any turns should be no less than 10 metres, and there should be adequate room at the end of the driveway for a fire truck to turn around. Check out the video on the TFS website for more information. fire.tas.gov.au/Show?pageId=colprepareHome
