Few tips to get you started this long weekend:

Clean your roof and gutters. Trim any branches overhanging on to your roof. Embers will look to jump on to home, so don't give them anything to catch fire on.

Move firewood and propane 10-30 metres away from your home. Don't let fire come to your door. Keep your grass cut to below 10cm, and move anything that can be fuel for the fire a safe 10-30 meters distance from your home.

Have a wildfire evacuation plan within your household. Don't wing it. Having a simple evacuation plan is easy to do, and makes a world of difference.
