CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson yesterday featured on ABC Statewide Drive live from the Ballarat studio as part of his regular segment with the program.
Kathy Bedford discussed the start of the fire season and noted people need to get ready for the fire season if they have not yet prepared. Euan talked about the total fire ban warning a couple days ago for the Wimmera and the Mallee and emphasised the need for people to be more prepared. Bedford questioned the restrictions in place during a TFB.
Bedford also raised her concern about the new confronting television ads. Euan stated the authorities took into consideration that the imagery makes it a scare campaign and that the ads would not be aired at prime children viewing times. The Chief also responded to several callers questions.
