Community Meetings

2008 Bushfire Ready Meetings

The community are welcome to come along to a CFS Bushfire Ready Meeting to become Bushfire Ready.

* Includes Wangary slide show and sausage sizzle

The CFS Community Education Unit provides information to residents living in high bushfire risk areas by a number of programs

These programs provide residents with the opportunity to raise their awareness of their bushfire risk, bushfire behaviour, how to protect their house and property, personal safety and bushfire action planning.

Bushfire Blitz Meeting

Bushfire Blitz Meetings are Informative and interactive presentations of 45 minutes duration.  Meetings focus on the area’s bushfire risk, bushfire behaviour, how to protect your house and property, personal safety and bushfire action planning.

Bushfire Awareness Meeting

Meetings commence with a sausage sizzle followed by a 30 minute presentation on a personal experience of the Wangary fire, then a discussion about community bushfire preparedness. Meeting is at a hall and runs for 2 ½ hours.

Community Fire Safe

The Community Fire Safe program is designed to assist residents living in high bushfire threat areas by forming community action groups.  
These groups may consist of just a few families living in the same street or area who face a common bushfire threat. With the assistance of a CFS Community Education Officer residents learn about fire behaviour and bushfire preparedness. Community Fire Safe groups develop action plans and community strategies that reduce the bushfire threat and increase the community’s preparedness.  These meetings are not published publicly.
