Calling 911
Calling 911 from a cell phone
While cell phones can be helpful to access 911 services, they have limitations.
Be aware that your call can fail with poor or no reception due to things like geography/environment, adverse weather conditions, building materials/structures and remote areas.
If your call fails, consider:
- calling from a landline
- moving locations
Know your location!
- Pay attention to road signs when travelling, especially in rural areas, so you can provide an accurate location should something happen
- Know your blue sign (rural address)

How to FireSmart your home and property.
Homes and buildings ignite because of the materials, condition, and everything that surrounds them. The area within 30 metres of the home is called the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ). Within it are three priority areas, each requiring specific actions. Start by reducing your risk in the Immediate Zone and work your way outward.
Immediate Zone
0 – 1.5 metres
Reduce the chance of wind-blown embers igniting your home:
Ensure a 1.5 metre non-combustible surface surrounds your home.
Clear vegetation and combustible materials.
Avoid planting woody shrubs or trees.
Intermediate Zone
1.5 – 10 metres
Prevent fire from reaching your home:
Plant fire-resistant vegetation and avoid woody debris, including bark mulch.
Use non-combustible landscaping materials.
Remove combustibles like firewood, construction materials, and patio furniture.
Extended Zone
10 – 30 metres
Limit the intensity of fire:
Maintain a minimum of 3 metres of horizontal space between evergreen trees.
Clear branches lower than 2 metres from the ground.
Regularly clean up fallen branches, dry grass, and needles.
