PLANNING A TRIP TO REGIONAL AUSTRALIA THIS SUMMER?
Family travels may take you to a bushfire prone area. By keeping a Woollen blanket in your car, you are taking an essential precaution during the warmer months, and keeping your family safe while visiting these areas.
CFA RECOMMENDS
To increase your chances of survival in a car, CFA recommends covering up with Woollen blankets and get down below window level – this is your highest priority.
Refer to CFA website for more details on how to stay safe in the car:

CUSTOMER STORY
They climbed into the truck, sent out mayday calls and turned on overhead sprinklers to protect the cabin.
They wound up the windows, pulled down reflective curtains to repel the radiant heat and wrapped themselves in fire-retarding blankets.
As the fire raged around them, the three men kept asking each other if they were all right.
HOW TO CARE FOR PETS IN A FIRE SCENARIO
Heat stress in dogs and cats occurs when they are unable to maintain their normal body temperature on a hot day. On all hot days, especially on Extreme or Catastrophic fire risk days, keep your pets as cool as possible. Keeping your pets comfortable on a hot day is your responsibility.
WHY IS WOOL SUCH A GOOD PROTECTOR FROM HEAT
- No melting point – degradation starts at 500 degrees Celsius
- Low flammability
- High tenacity
- Good resistance to abrasion
- Good resistance to organic solvents
- Non conductive
