Check with your local authorities about locations of existing fires.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you&#8217;ve got a good map if you&#8217;re heading into an area without GPS coverage. Preferably you also need to know the road surface type so that you don&#8217;t turn onto an off-road track in a two-wheel drive vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Check the fire danger signage. National parks and country towns often have fire danger signage at entry points.<\/p>\n<p>If emergency services personnel tell you not to go somewhere, don&#8217;t go there.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2234\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2234\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2234\" src=\"http:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/fire-fighters-595x396.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/fire-fighters-595x396.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/fire-fighters-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/fire-fighters-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/fire-fighters.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Firefighters dampen a fire<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Make sure your vehicle is well-maintained and reliable; breaking down in the middle of a bushfire could be deadly.<\/p>\n<p>Carry plenty of water, a first aid kit and some blankets.<\/p>\n<p>If you see or smell smoke, drive away from it.<\/p>\n<p>Be aware of which direction the wind is blowing so that you don&#8217;t get trapped.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t feel the temptation to go and have a look at the fire &#8211; this is a good way of getting trapped if the wind takes it\u00a0behind you.<\/p>\n<h2>What to do if you get caught in a fire<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve followed the advice above, it&#8217;s unlikely you&#8217;ll get caught in a bushfire unless one starts very near your house and there&#8217;s only one exit (i.e. through it). If the fire is fast-moving then there&#8217;s a chance you can shelter in your car.<\/p>\n<p>If fire surrounds you, fine the barest area you can, away from tall grass and shrubs. If you can find a rocky outcrop, a wall, or steep bank this can help shelter the car.<\/p>\n<p>Turn on your hazard warning lights, wind up all the windows and close all the vents.<\/p>\n<p>Get down under the dashboard and cover yourself with blankets, jackets, the floor mats. It&#8217;s very important that you are at least below window level. Woollen blankets work best for shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t exit your vehicle until you&#8217;re certain that the blaze has passed and is travelling away from you.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t drive out of the area until you see no more fire and the smoke has cleared.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you drink enough water to prevent dehydration as it will be hot in your car.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2236\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2236\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2236\" src=\"http:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/helicopter-with-monsoon-bucket-595x343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/helicopter-with-monsoon-bucket-595x343.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/helicopter-with-monsoon-bucket-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/helicopter-with-monsoon-bucket-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/helicopter-with-monsoon-bucket.jpg 877w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A helicopter battles a fire using a monsoon bucket<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re driving through wooded areas on a hot day, you need to know bushfire safety tips.
