SMOKE ALARMS

These guidelines have been produced in a combined effort from NSW Rural Fire Services and NSW Health. When fire occurs in your home, your chances of survival are twice as good when smoke alarms are present. Smoke alarms, when properly installed and maintained (following the manufacturers instructions), provide early warning when fire occurs. Early warning increases your chances for survival.

Fruit Flies are the World's Worst Fruit Pests

Fruit flies lay eggs in all fruit (except pineapples) including tomatoes and some other vegetables as well as fruits of flowering ornamental trees and shrubs

Fruit flies lay eggs in maturing or ripe fruit NOT in blossoms or very young fruit
