Story: Bush Fire Season Prep
Episode: 12
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
Air Date: 21st September 2023

The season is heating up hard, which is why it’s the perfect time for Trevor to put up the guards on our precious homes, lest they burn in the bushfires!

• Clogged gutters are a fire-risk – cleaning your gutters now and placing gutter guards will not only reduce your gutter-cleaning schedule (keeping leaves and debris out) but will also help you protect your home from bush fires (if living in bush fire-prone area).
• Fit your home with recommended fireproofing features: cover openings and cavities to prevent bush fire embers, including leaves, twigs and other garden rubbish, into your home through small gaps.
• Fire Guard Gutter Guard – conforms to Australian standards, tested & certified by CSIRO with a flammability index of 1, robust galvanized steel mesh, allow good water flow, 10m roll in 190 or 300mm width.
• EmberMesh Stainless Steel Guard – complies with Australian standards, non-combustible & corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel with powder-coated finish, feature 2mm aperture, 4m roll in 190mm width
• Fire-retardant Gutter Bristle – Tested & certified by CSIRO with a flammability index of 0, made from durable fire-retardant material, will not continue to burn when direct flame moves away, pre-formed 1m length in 110mm or 125mm widths
