23.01.2022 State Control Centre Update on Victorian Fires - 31 Dec 2019

19.01.2022 A few people have asked what is the best way to help the bushfire crisis that Victoria is currently in. This is the official bushfire appeal. We are being told the single best thing someone can do that wants to donate is to donate cash. Cheers

18.01.2022 A link to the ACCC website is found here - https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/news/bushfires-and-scams SCAMS AFTER YOUR DONATIONS

12.01.2022 FIRE, FIRE, FIRE. Burn permits are now being issued to farmers for the burning of stubble so they can prepare ground for future cropping. While this will cause ...lots of smoke in a small area it will die down quickly as the stubble burns quickly. When these burns are lit there is a large amount of smoke due to the type of material being burned and this smoke will be visible for many miles . For our sake, the C.F.A. volunteers, so we don't not send the tankers out to a false alarm or stubble burn, can you be sure that the fire you see is not a stubble burn before you phone 000 to report a fire. Many Thanks, Jim Robinson Glendaruel fire brigade Captain. ph 0418132821

05.01.2022 BE PREPARED THIS WEEKEND IN DAYLESFORD AND HEPBURN SPRINGS Ahead of a warm and busy holiday weekend in Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, the CFA has warned for lo...cals and residents to make sure they have a plan in case of a bushfire. "That area has been assessed as an extreme bushfire-risk area," said Neville Collins, Commander with the CFA Incident Control Centre. "People just do need to be mindful if they're going into locations, that they need to plan and be prepared." Because we’ve had a number of deployments recently to Gippsland and Wangaratta, you may not have a CFA or Forest Fire Management Victoria crew, appliance or truck to protect your property on days of extreme fire behaviour." If you're not sure what to do if a bushfire threatens, visit our website for advice: https://ab.co/2DDskE0

04.01.2022 Although data states that 2/3 of Black Saturday fatalities died while sheltering in or near their house, research by bushfire scientists revealed that they did ...not die BECAUSE they were sheltering. They died because they did not know how to shelter safely. SO WHEN THE BUSHFIRE EMERGENCY MESSAGE IS It I s too Late to Leave, You Should Take Shelter and Stay Indoors - WHAT SHOULD YOU ACTUALLY DO? IF YOU CANNOT SHELTER IN A BUILDING * Shelter behind a wall; beside a large fire resistant tree (that has no flammable undergrowth); in nor beside a car; in a dam (if no vegetation is near either), in a ditch, (cover yourself with earth or blanket); crouch beneath a blankets (must be PURE WOOL and DRY) on bare ground or an already burnt area. - Dry pure wool has the quality of extinguishing sparks and embers. IF YOU CAN SHELTER IN A BUILDING Before you go inside: * Shut off gas and electricity at the mains. * Put pets inside: dogs on leash, cats in covered cages. * Take in outdoor furniture, doormats, hanging baskets, plastic pot plants. When you are inside: * Make sure all doors and windows are securely shut. * Turn off air conditioners; cover their internal vents. * If windows are unshuttered, cover with blankets (must be PURE WOOL), heavy quality quilts, foil or wet towels. *Move flammable furniture away from windows. * Close internal doors to limit fire spread if embers enter and ignite inside. * Put on protective clothing and nose mask and drink often. * Keep blankets (must be PURE WOOL and DRY) handy. * Cool off when possible. * Watch the conditions outside if possible through a small window or peephole. Do not open a door or window to look outside. * When you are sure flaring shrubs have blackened, it’s safe to go out again. (Burning tree trunks do not generally emit killing radiant heat.) PASSIVE SHELTERERS * DO NOT SHELTER IN AN INNER ROOM. Not in the hallway. Not in the bath. If you shelter in ANY kind of inner room no matter how many doors it has you could be trapped. Embers may have ignited sub-floor or wall cavities or rafters in the ceiling space,. Flaming walls or ceiling could collapse on you. Toxic fumes from smouldering furnishings, synthetic furniture or wall linings could overcome you. * STAY BY A DOOR THAT EXITS TO OUTSIDE in protective clothing and with blankets (must be PURE WOOL and DRY). * It is vital for passive shelterers to exit as soon as the potentially killing radiant heat from fames has died down. ACTIVE SHELTERERS * Take hose, sprayers and ladder inside with you. * Fill bath & troughs with water, immerse towels, roll up and place at door gaps and window ledges. Plug keyholes with play dough, blue-tack or soap. * Fill containers (e.g. garden sprayers) with water; put these, with dippers, mops etc, in each room. * Watch for invading embers. Particularly in the ceiling space, through windows, gaps under doors. Spray or hit with wet mop any sparks, embers or smouldering furnishings. * If any ignition cannot be extinguished, close the door of that room. * Maintain easy access to an exit door. * Never go outside during a flame front to douse an outside ignition. EXITING * Exit with great care, preferably from a door that is sheltered from the wind. * Wear protective clothing & nose cover, cover yourself with your blanket (must be PURE WOOL and DRY), crouch, lower your eyelids and open the door gradually. The quintessential bushfire survival resource is a HEAVY DUTY DRY PURE WOOL BLANKET. Covered with such a blanket and with a flask of water people have survived the most catastrophic conditions.

03.01.2022 Widespread rainfall is expected for the east coast of the country, including the firegrounds, starting tomorrow and lasting into the weekend.

03.01.2022 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.
