October is a critical month in the CFA calendar, with Get Fire Ready events planned statewide.
Across the month, brigades will provide information and resources to keep residents prepared ahead of fire season.
The fire danger period can be declared as early as October and last until May.
In 2024, it began in November and ended in April 2025.
Get Fire Ready events include education on property preparation, fire danger ratings, emergency information sources and creating bushfire survival plans.
It also presents an opportunity to engage with local CFA members.
