PREPARE TOGETHER FOR BUSHFIRE SAFETY
In the past three months, there have been at least 30 fires in the City of Wanneroo. Many of these fires had the potential to threaten homes without fast containment action by fire brigades and favourable weather conditions.
The City's 'Prepare Together' project supports you to be prepared for bushfires and other emergencies.
➡ See how prepared you are through our community survey: surveymonkey.com/r/SD2TX25
ℹ Your participation will help the City better understand how we can support you to take action and prepare your family and home for bushfires and other emergencies.
There have already been a couple of really generous donations for our quiz night raffle prizes on Saturday the 6th March but if anyone is still interested in donating a prize please email: heather@thenorthernguide.com.au

NOW SOLD OUT!!!
We'd like to thank everyone for their kind offers of food, water and help during the last few days. We have crews out at the Woorooloo fire and they are well taken care of and well rested, so we have no need of assistance.
Due to strict COVID procedures we are unable to have any visitors so please do not come to the station.
If you would like to help with the effort and assist those who have lost homes and livelihoods please consider making a donation to the Lord Mayor's Distress Relief Fund.
Thank you.
Our members are so grateful for the huge community support we enjoy and we will continue to serve you as best we can.
