Thought this RSPCA page is worth sharing especially now that we’re experiencing harsher climates. It’s called Bush Fires and House Fires.

It offers us some recommendations as to what to do if bushfires ever hit your home. This one was particularly thought-provoking:

If you have to leave your pets outside, ensure there is plenty of water available from a source that does not rely on power or above-ground pipes. In a bushfire, move pets to a closely grazed or ploughed paddock with drinking water, steel fencing and preferably shade. In a severe storm (including hail), place pets under solid cover e.g. a shed or barn. Do not place synthetic blankets on your horses, as these may melt during extreme heat. Provide a minimum of five day’s food/hay or ensure access to pasture.
