The time is right to start preparing for the upcoming summer fire season.
And what better way to prepare than through a visit to The Patch and Kallista’s Open Day, where you can gain expert advice from the brigades’ members, as well as enjoy a family fun day out.
On Saturday 7 October, from 10am to 2pm, at the Kallista Fire Station (located on Kallista-Emerald Road), residents will get the chance to meet and greet with their local brigade members.
This is your change to receive expert advice on property preparation, personal fire plans, and burning off requirements and safety.
Also, check out the topographical three-dimensional map of Kallista and surrounds to better understand fire directions under wind conditions, and possible impacts on residents.
But don’t forget to enjoy the day, too, with plenty on offer for the kids.
Captain Koala will make a visit, while the children can check out the fire tankers in the station.
There will be activities such as a large-scale game called ‘Hoses and Ladders’.
A gourmet sausage sizzle will cap off a great day.
