Displays when Total Fire Ban in force
“What is happening with the CFA?”
“Are you all going to be fired?”
“What will happen if there is an emergency?”
CFA Brigades and volunteers in the Macedon Ranges have been inundated with these sort of questions since the unfortunate battle between the CFA and the Victorian Government and Unions began.
It is a shame that the situation has escalated to where our community is concerned as to whether their safety will be threatened.
We would like to assure the Macedon Ranges communities that, despite the disturbing distraction, all CFA Brigades will be turning out as normal if there is an emergency and event. These include the Brigades in Bullengarook, Gisborne, Hesket-Kerrie, Macedon, Mt Macedon, Newham, Riddells Creek and Woodend.
There are more than 200 CFA volunteers in the Macedon Ranges who are all totally committed to the safety of our communities and the volunteer service that has been provided by some brigades for more than 120 years.
It is a shame that CFA volunteers have been neglected in the negotiation process but, rest assured, we will never neglect the safety of our communities.
