The ACT Rural Fire Service is responsible for the response and mitigation of bushfires in the ACT.

Grass is a fine vegetation type and fire burns through it faster than forest. Grassfires travel and spread very quickly, at times travelling more than 25km an hour.

Smoke alarms that are properly installed and working correctly greatly increase the survival rate of occupants of a building in the event of a fire.
