Tom Price and Paraburdoo residents are advised that there will be fireworks this weekend during Rio Tinto's annual Picnic Day (15 May in Tom Price and 16 May in Paraburdoo).
To keep your four-legged friends safe during this time, it is recommended you:
🐕 Take your dogs on a long walk/exercise them thoroughly before the fireworks
🏠 Stay home with your dog if possible, and perform your usual nightly routines
🚪 Ensure all doors are firmly closed, and blinds/curtains are closed if possible
🎶 Play soothing music at a low volume, and ensure your pet has somewhere safe indoors to retreat to.
