Parts of #VIC, #WA, #NSW, #SA and the #NT face above-average #bushfire risk this summer. Dry winter and spring conditions have primed the land to burn, and rising temperatures are adding to the danger. It's important to stay alert and prepare a bushfire plan even if you live in a lower risk region.
