No Plan Dan: Time for a Barbie?

Just in time for the summer holidays, No Plan Dan shows just what can happen when a barbeque goes terribly wrong.

Play it safe this summer, and always check if a Total Fire Ban is in force. Read about Total Fire Bans on the NSW Rural Fire Service website.

Phone Trees


http://artofeloquence.com/cpp/
Community members sometimes ask the Rural Fire Service about using phone trees as a way to spread warnings about bush fires.

Phone trees usually work best when the community has full ownership and takes responsibility for the set up and ongoing management of the phone tree. Phone trees can be a good way to increase community connectivity and resilience but should never be relied on as the only source of information.
