Fire Ready Victoria

Each summer CFA takes it to the streets with a community safety education program targeted to residents in high fire risk areas across Victoria.

Interactive community meetings in local halls and street corners meetings are planned across the State with the aim of raising people's awareness of their bushfire risk, and to work with residents to turn awareness into action.
