About the Muster

Do you want to help prepare communities for bushfires before they happen? Join our muster event to support Mount Tomah residents and help reduce the risk of fire in the community, before summer begins.

What to expect

This muster event involves activities that will reduce the risk of future bushfires for residents of Mount Tomah including the removal of overgrown vegetation and fire hazards from street verges to make the community as bushfire ready as it can be. You will use tools like a wheelbarrow, rake, and mattock.

Bring your own lunch, snacks and water for the day.

We look forward to seeing you at the preparedness activity.
