Residents in high bushfire risk areas need to be self reliant to ensure their safety from bushfire.
CFA, DSE, and MFB have implemented Living with Fire: a framework to increase awareness of bushfire risk, and preparedness of the Victorian Community for bushfires. Look for a meeting in your area...
As part of the framework, each summer CFA run education programs to inform residents of the need to be prepared and how to get started. These are delivered, free of charge, in high bushfire risk areas. The programs are local community and street corner meetings and Community Fireguard.
These meetings are held in community halls or on street corners and leading up to summer a calendar of activities showing where meetings will be held is advertised through flyers, local newspapers, sign boards, and on this website. Look for a meeting in your area...
Local communities can also establish a Community Fireguard group and to get started a meeting is generally held in a resident’s home with neighbours invited to attend. Tell me more about Community Fireguard
