In the event of a bushfire, structures made from CCA-treated timber can be damaged or destroyed. If you know that you had structures made from CCA-treated timber, when cleaning up the ash, remember that the ash may pose a health hazard if it is swallowed by young children or grazing animals. Further information on CCA treated timber can be found here: Http://docs.health.vic.gov.au/docs/doc/90A7DC3E192842DCCA25797B000F85DF/$FILE/Ash%20from%20CCA%20treated%20timber%20Dec%202013.pdf
