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.

Thanks to Steve and his team for doing what they do. And fabulous recognition of our Ambos and the awesome work they do at the frontline 👏

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

This Easter weekend will be different to any others before. You mustn’t go to holiday accomodation or a BnB. Don’t visit relatives or friends or have them over. It’s hard. But if we drop our guard now, all our hard won gains will be lost. #StayHome #SaveLives

If you are in doubt about whether or not you should go to an appointment, attend a social engagement, or interact with people you’re not currently living with in your home - the simple answer is don’t.

Your actions now can save lives.

Staying safe during fire season means understanding the risks in your area and having a plan. Local authorities in the Hepburn and Daylesford have come together to urge local residents to revisit their plan and what they would do ahead of high fire risk days. Do you have a plan?

Thanks to the joint D15/16 Strike Team who did some great work with local FFMV crews strengthening containment lines. This work will hopefully help protect the Mt Taylor/WyYung areas (and ultimately Bairnsdale) if the weather heats up and northerly winds return later in the week.
