Do you know what to do in the case of a fire? Want to put your skills to practice?
\nThe CFA has been trialling new Community Bushfire Scenario Workshops in high risk areas throughout Victoria, and Bacchus Marsh has been selected to take part in this new initiative.
\nThe workshops are designed to inform and educate, encouraging the community to have an active role in how they would react, plan, and survive in a bushfire situation.
\n\u201cAs we are coming into possibly one of the worst fire seasons for many years, our Brigade is being proactive to engage the Bacchus Marsh and Districts community to make them more aware to be prepared on how to survive in the event of bushfire,\u201d said Bacchus Marsh Urban Fire Brigade Community Safety Manager Scott Pepin.
\n\u201cIt will also give the community a chance to interact with our volunteer fire brigade,\u201d he said.
\nSet inside the Darley Fire Station, the evening is set up as a three-way role-play session, where the public interact with the facilitator to cover a serious topic but will include a few lighter moments.
\nThe Scenario Workshop will occur on Tuesday 23rd October at the Darley Fire Station at 75A Albert Street Darley. There will be a free BBQ prior at 6pm, followed by the workshop at 7pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
