Country Fire Authority Eildon electorate brigades
Ms McLEISH (Eildon) (09:46): CFA volunteers always do an amazing job, often in very difficult circumstances. I want to thank the brigades from Glenburn, Murrindindi, Yea, Limestone, Toolangi, Molesworth, Homewood, Flowerdale and Strath Creek who attended and extinguished a fast-moving grassfire following a lightning strike at our property. Crews navigated the very steep and rugged terrain to get their gear positioned to extinguish flames, create firebreaks and ensure livestock was protected. The CFA volunteers have local knowledge and know-how, which are critical to fight fast-moving fires. Their commitment and dedication to protect our communities should not be questioned. Our volunteers should always be supported and never undervalued.
