 We only have to look in our own backyard. Here's Bruce. There's Bruce. It's a bit of a famous picture. Bruce is in the room. I think Bruce... Does Bruce look like he's driving to the fire? But I can tell you, ladies and gentlemen, the fact of the matter is, do you reckon even Bruce, if he tried to turn around in his truck and there's another truck behind him, do you reckon he would even be able to pull out the fire if he went there? To me, that picture there says it all. The fact is, do your own maths, people. Do your own maths. We don't have enough trucks to go to every house. The traditional response model, the one that we've told our community for 100 years that is going to come and save your life, does not stack up any more. Can I tell you, when I first joined the job, back in, well, a couple of years ago, we don't need to go to that little detail, the reality was I was not allowed. It was against the CFA policy to tell people that they weren't going to get a fire truck to their house. We knew they weren't going to get a fire truck. Why do you think we did that? Absolutely. Keep the illusion was the point made here, is because we wanted to make the community feel safer. We didn't want them to know that they weren't getting a fire truck. Dawn led a community fire guard group in King Lake and actually every house in that particular street was saved. Not one person in her community fire guard group died. So do you see her wearing any medals? Do you see her getting any accolades? Do you see her in the Herald Sun? Do you see her on Channel 7, Channel 9, any of the main leaders? No. No wreckage, just a quiet achiever. Save more lives. There's probably at least 100 dawns in this room that you people have the power to make that change that we cannot do with the provision of a fire truck. The interesting thing for those who were here last year, there's a guy here called David Chalk. I think his name was David Chalk. And David Chalk said, you know who the community relate to most? It's not the shiny bums out of your quarters. It's not the bloody buffins, buffeds in suits or the school teachers that we may employ under a volunteer, under the Fire Ready Victoria campaign. It's actually the local person and the local community that that will listen to. And there's a terry asking a star. I didn't want to say a terry because it wasn't part of their journey. This is why we created the Kaftan Wearing Community Safety Department I was going to mention terry. Terry did ask me to say that. We created the two departments in our organisation because we recognise all we need to get in contact with their community. But our firefighters can't do it because they are just knuckle-dragging. They were not going to connect with their community. They're environmental vandals. They are just no good at all. They're only good for putting wet stuff on red stuff. Wrong, wrong CFA. We need to change that around. We recognise now the power is we've got to have our brigades engaged in the community giving both suppression and prevention a community message and empowering. We need you. I thought about actually handing out a baton and said I want everybody to take this baton. When you leave here, you take the baton and you're then charged with the responsibility of actually empowering your community or getting your brigade on board. I said to the CEO there at the start, interesting we have 65,000 volunteers. We know about 20, maybe 30,000 are operational. Most of those people are also a lot of those are community practitioners and gauges. What are the other 40,000 doing? I put to you, we've probably got equally as many people that are only interested in giving a community message. And again, like dawn has the potential of saving more lives than any people will in a fire truck. Interesting, isn't it? The movement continues. It continues to grow. It is getting bigger. People are starting to recognise it around the world. But are we there yet? Are we there? I put to you, does every home have a working smoke line? This is not just bushfire. This is not just natural events. Is everyone that is vulnerable to bushfire prepared to act safely under threat? Will they make an informed decision? Or do we still have people that are sitting watching their telly on a hot day with the curtains down, watching the cricket with the air conditioner going and don't know there's a bloody fire until someone puts it across the bottom of the stream? We've got a lot of work to do to make Victorians and indeed South East Australians with a couple of the New South Wales people here, so I'm making a little broader, to make people safe.
