New Resident's Pack
Eltham is a fire prone area and traffic in and out of Eltham can prove a challenge at the best of times. In an emergency, your access both in and out of Eltham may be substantially impeded. You need to have a plan and to know what to do when the hot weather of summer
increases the risk of fire in our area and you need to make sure that you are safe.
To help you be able to make informed decisions about fire safety, we have put together this information pack which includes some key information about fire risk in Eltham and surrounds. These documents include:
- An overview of the 2019/2020 summer fire season risk

These resources are by no means exhaustive – but they are a good start.
