Key Points

• The first days of summer have been marked by extreme heat and large fires in several communities in Geraldton, New South Wales, and Tasmania.
• Being in “holiday mode” can be dangerous if you don’t have a bushfire action plan prepared.
• You may not be directly hit by the fire, but smoke inhalation and extreme heat can still put you at risk.
