Snug Fire Brigade prepares for bushfire season

Key points

• Snug Fire Brigade volunteers are preparing for the bushfire season and urging Channel residents to protect their homes now. Chief Bill Wylett says residents should clean around houses and gutters, and prepare emergency kits.
• He warned that a fire truck may not be available at every home, so people should leave early if they plan to go.
• Volunteer Dave Archer recalled the Black Tuesday bushfires of 1967, which destroyed homes across Snug.
