It is always safest not to be near wildfires/bushfires.  The products in his area are for protection of home and property for those individuals whose plan it is to stay and defend in certain conditions.  However if you plan to leave early you may also want to consider some basic equipment from this area, in case you get caught and it’s not safe to leave.  In many situations, with some relatively inexpensive items, like a bucket & mop, knapsack and a store of water (bathtub, basins, drums, etc) you can defend your property.

Most homes that are destroyed by bushfire/ wildfire are taken by ember attack.  Embers start small fires that grow into large fires if unattended.  Choose carefully what products you want and whether or not you need them; perhaps leaving early is the best choice. 

Bushfires/wildfires are frightening heavy smoke environments often turning day to night with little visibility, loud noise and extreme heat.
