How to start a group

Community Fireguard groups are formed when residents of a local area choose to participate in the program. Ideally, the groups are small, made up of neighbours or residents living in a shared bushfire risk environment.

By becoming involved in a Community Fireguard group, residents are able to develop strategies for themselves – strategies which work because they have local ownership and support. Groups make decisions about the best way to protect themselves in a way that fits their lifestyle, environment, physical capabilities, finances and experience.
