<Media release to suburban newspapers>With the Bushfires Royal Commission now complete, a senior CFA volunteer from country Victoria says it is timely to thank the community in suburban Melbourne for its contribution on Black Saturday.
On a chilly, windswept Friday in August, four CFA HQ staff travelled to Mt Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre to participate in a Greenfleet* tree planting day.
Fire Action Week 2010 will call on all Victorians to prepare for the upcoming fire season, and CFA will be urging everyone, no matter where they live, to take responsibility for their community and for themselves.
Murtoa and Rupanyup fire brigades have new vehicles in time for summer. Both brigades received pumpers while Rupanyup also received a new tanker and Murtoa a new forward-command vehicle.
