Katikati Volunteer Fire Brigade Launches Safety Campaign

As winter approaches, the Katikati Volunteer Fire Brigade is urging residents to prepare their homes for cooler months. Their new safety campaign provides key tips on fire prevention and maintenance.

With the use of heaters and fireplaces on the rise, it’s important to ensure that chimneys are cleaned regularly and that flammable items are kept at a safe distance. The brigade encourages everyone to schedule a professional chimney cleaning before the chilly weather sets in.

Additionally, residents are reminded to test their smoke alarms monthly. The Fire Brigade offers free Home Fire Safety Visits to help residents reduce fire risks in their homes.
