This year, Tasmania copped the full wrath of Mother Nature’s fury.

The Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) is warning residents that the worst could be yet to come as summer is the riskiest time of year for bushfires.

To ensure that Tasmanians are prepared as possible for these harsh events, the TFS has launched its 2016/17 Bushfire Safety Campaign.

TFS Chief Officer Chris Arnol said as well as preparing your property, it was essential for people living in or near bushland to have a Bushfire Survival Plan, which detailed exactly how to prepare, and what action to take, if threatened by bushfire.

For further information and to download your Bushfire Survival Plan Booklet make sure you visit www.fire.tas.gov.au or free call 1800 000 699.
