Country Fire Authority
Chris CREWTHER (Mornington) (11:21): On the CFA, with the summer fire season fast approaching, now is the time to ensure that our properties are fire safe and that fire plans are in place. The community-based CFA and volunteers, with over 1200 stations across Victoria, protect people and properties, along with Fire Rescue Victoria and Forest Fire Management Victoria. That includes, along with Mornington, the Moorooduc, Mount Eliza and Mount Martha CFA brigades in my electorate. At Christmas our brigades are also called upon to provide popular transport for Santas and their helpers to many community events and to bring smiles to the faces of many. This Christmas and this summer be safe, be prepared, be supportive and thank your CFA.
