Safety Tip – Be safe.
Follow these tips to help protect your rural property from fire:
Escape plan
Design an escape plan for you and your family to get out of the house and off the property. Test it regularly.
Access
Make sure your driveway clearance is at least four metres wide and four meters high. Ensure there is adequate turning space for fire trucks and easy access to water.
Signs
Make it easy for emergency services to find you by making sure your RAPID rural property identification number is on your signpost and clearly visible from the road.
Water source
Ensure there is access to an adequate supply of water for fire trucks. Make sure your garden hose is connected and is long enough to reach around the house.
Firewood
Store your firewood and other flammable material away from the house.

Double glazing winter chills
Winter is faster approaching, beat those winter chills with a double glazed retro fit,timber or aluminium.
With double glazing you get a warmer cozier home, dryer no more weepy windows,comfortable in summer, noise reduction plus extra security.

WINTER DONATIONS & SATURDAY VOLUNTEERS
Heya Community,
Thanks for your incredible support this week as always. We're still on the hunt for more donations, especially WINTER CLOTHING & MENSWEAR. Remember we offer free collection Monday to Friday!
We're also looking for a couple of enthusiastic volunteers to join us on Saturdays!
(9:30-1:30 & 1:30-5:00)
Whether you're a morning person or prefer the afternoon shift, we'd love your help. All you need is to be friendly, have great communication skills, and if you have an eye for design, that's a bonus! Plus, we won't say no to a good singing voice or a love for chocolate biscuits 😉
Drop by and chat with Pen if you're interested!
See you in store this weekend 🏠,
Red Cross Richmond
