24.01.2022 Insurance companies are failing Australians with confusing fire cover. Right now, there is no standard definition of ‘fire’ across insurance policies. This mean...s insurance companies are free to define ‘fire’ however they like and you may be paying for cover that has loopholes when it comes to natural disasters. CHOICE experts have revealed the worst ‘fire’ definitions and exclusions hidden in insurance contracts. Sign the petition to close this shonky loophole now: bit.ly/2GXJOeF See more

19.01.2022 Many people have downloaded the Vic Emergency app which is great as people need to stay informed. However, this is also starting to cause problems. The Vic emer...gency app releases incident detaild as our CFA volunteers are paged. This means that people are being notified of an incident at about the same time we are. Recent incidents have attracted a lot of sightseers in their cars, on motorbikes or even on foot to see where the incident is and what is going on. We have had people try and stop CFA volunteers to find out what is going on whilst they are on their way and during incidents. Recently we had cars blocking the roads for trucks trying to get to the incident. Others even followed the trucks to see where they were going. We encourage as many people as possible to use the VicEmergency app to keep them informed, but please be aware that using the information to go and see what is going on can affect the CFA in performing our duty as quickly and efficiently as possible. There is the potential danger for an accident to happen when community vehicles get in the way of emergency vehicles.

17.01.2022 Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of the four Victoria Police Officers who tragically lost their lives this afternoon.
