VicPol: Chains MUST be carried to all Alpine Resorts, including Mount Buffalo
Fines apply if you are without chains and fail to put them on your vehicle when instructed. If a checkpoint is checking for chains, you will be denied access to the mountains if you donโt have them.
CFA: Powerboards and Home Fire Safety
Power boards can only take a limited number of devices so only plug in one device per outlet. Never plug double adapters or extra powerboards into a power board and donโt plug high powered appliances like heaters into a power board or extension lead. Doing so can cause the power board or extension lead to heat up and start a fire.
