@CFA_Members & @FFMVic crews commenced a critical fuel reduction burn at Kaniva South today. Local crews combined with CFA Planned Burning Taskforce resources ensured the right skills and capability were in place to implement the burn safely. Aerial pic credit Mark Corr FFMV.

Mechanical mulching has been used to manage bushfire fuels on this site at Wheatsheaf in the Central Highlands. This work being led by CFA’s vegetation management team is making real impact on fuels and the environment. Love the tiny native orchids growing thru the mulch.

RUOK day was an opportunity to recognise CFA’s dedicated peer support team who are available to our firefighters 24/7. Thanks Marie and team for doing what you do

Looks really good. Tech is working ok and everyone ready to get involved. Saves us all being on the roads late as night as well👍

Covid has given us the opportunity to look closely at how we connect, engage & learn. About to start an inclusive leadership training session with some of our Volunteer leaders from the comfort of home. #agile #CFAd15

Tonight @WINNews_Bal will cover the reunion of CFA and
@AmbulanceVic crews with a patient - Julie, who earlier this year was injured by a horse when she attempted to move them away from an approaching grassfire.

Fire Service capability being used to great effect. Secure water supply plus safe, progressive tactics ensured this fire was contained quickly to minimise damage. Great work team. 👍👏#CFAd15

November rainfall across Victoria varied significantly. Regular cold fronts brought above average falls to parts of the south, but failed to bring relief to the north and east. Keep an eye out for our climate summary this week https://t.co/lw2Pha64i2

Our 15 yr old border collie Sasha waiting for her morning walk. She does this every morning. This is her way of saying being ok takes effort. Fresh air and exercise are core ingredients of well-being. Thanks Sasha for helping me stay well 🐕 and in your own way asking RUOK?
