Point Cook Fire Brigade attend two Kitchen Fires in two days.

In both instances only minimal damage resulted, however, it is a reminder that safety in the home is a personal responsibility and should not be taken lightly. These fires could have resulted in much greater losses and yet there are many steps that a home owner/renter can take to minimise any risks. 
Simple things such as a fire blanket or fire extinguisher can be at the ready should the need arise.

According to CFA 2002 statistics, out of 1300 house fires, approximately 30% of them started in the kitchen.

May 2006 Fire Calls
We had 10 Primary Calls and 14 Support Calls. Point Cook is still proving to be on the quiet side when it comes to fires and other incidents. We did have a brief run of bin fires, one of which caused some damage to a corner shop in the area. Thankfully, however, this run has now ceased.

Would you believe it's been 8 months since the website started and whilst the initial look was not too bad, thought it time to change to something a little better. Hopefully this has a more professional look and better layout.

Please take the time to complete the poll on the right of your screen regarding the new look as we value your opinion.

If you find something that does not look right, or something that you believe needs fixing, please send us an e-mail to let us know what it is.
