Environment Strategy
CFA is committed to the protection of life, property and the environment
through the delivery of cost-effective fire and emergency services
for the people of Victoria.
Our Environment Strategy has been developed to guide our approach
to managing environment issues across all aspects of our business.
It will help us to do this in a way which maintains safety, effectiveness
and efficiency. it will also help ensure that our approaches are
sustainable for our organisation and build on the skills of our
people.
This document:
- Identifies ways in which CFA activities help to protect the
environment
- Identifies environmental risks faced by CFA in delivering its
services
- Outlines a policy for management of environmental issues by
CFA

This Environment Strategy encourages us to concentrate first on
learning more about the way we affect the environment and developing
guidelines and systems to support CFA staff and volunteers.
