Fire Prevention and Regular Gutter Cleaning

Fire Prevention and Gutter Cleaning

During the hot summer months in South Australia the fire danger becomes increasingly higher as the weather warms up. When the gutters and roof and covered with tree debris, especially leaves, gum nuts and branches for large Eucalyptus trees then this creates a huge fire hazard.

Preventing this kind of fire hazard is quite simple. Simply put in place a regular gutter and roof cleaning schedule for your home. Getting up on the roof and cleaning the gutters 2-3 times per year is great physical exercise while taking part in regular fire hazard prevention.  

When cleaning the gutters, it is a good idea to also clean of any debris that has built on the roof itself. Bush fires are often started by floating embers falling on some flammable material and igniting.
