 Alex Green, firstly tenant at Chika Fire Brigade. We've had a little bit of moisture come from various places around town, so we have had the floods that came through Rochester up the Camp Pasby, and then came in last weekend, so they came through the centre of town, so we're madly sad, but sandbagged beforehand. We had an expected river height of 95.65, and we ended up at 96.25, so 600m over the prediction, so we had a little bit of a fight there. We were in there, fighting, monitoring the levels, pumping out water as we went, and the water came behind and beat us for a little while. There were a few tears shed, but we managed to get back in there with a strike team of heavy pumpers, pump out all the water, and we managed to save houses. We've had multiple strike teams come up in heavy tankers, medium tankers. We've even got an FCV strike team up here at the moment. This could be an issue for anywhere up to five weeks, so it's going to be a constant battle. We've called for pumps from all over the state. We're putting them in strategic places around town, and we're also putting strategic caches of sandbags. So if we do have a blowout or anything else, we can try and fix it, and move it out and move on to the next one. Just the community have been absolutely astounding. They've come out in spades and delivered. Every time I put up a Facebook post asking for help to sandbag something, they're there. We've got half the town. Half the town's evacuated, the other half are helping us, so it's just been amazing. So Luke Watersons, my name. My rank is Acting Commander for a Fire Rescue Victoria in the built environment. My role at this incident is Sector Commander for the Atukah sector. So the resources that we have here at the moment, this is a multi-agency event. We've got SES, we've got CFA, we've got Fire Rescue Victoria, we've got Life Saving, we've got Mines Rescue from Fosterville. I'm going to miss someone here, Keith, but we've got nearly everybody with a badge on their shoulders. I just noticed some New South Wales fisheries or Victorian fisheries come walking through the fire station. If you were in a badge for the State of Victoria, they've probably been in Atukah at some stage. ADF have been a massive presence here. Victoria Police has been a massive presence as well. Originally, when we first knew of this water event coming on the Murrow River, co-insiding with the Kampaspi River water event and also the forecasted rain, we were given a timeline of Wednesday afternoon for the High Water Mark, which meant that we had to act and act fast. And when I say act fast, we've been able to build a two and a half kilometre long mineral earth levee with excavators and bulldozers and dump trucks in 40, 80 hours. At the same time, we've been able to build probably the same distance, if not greater, sandbag levee along the Kampaspi throughout Residentially Atukah and out in the east of Atukah around the flood plains to the east. So I'm being massively supported by the Instant Control Centre in Bendigo, led by the Instant Control Team, Mark Atel and Les Veering. Greg Murphy are some of the Instant Controllers that have been in that Instant Control Team and have supported me greatly. With the advice from our flood planners and all our stakeholders, they've given us the support to mitigate the risks, to learn from the lessons of other towns that weren't as lucky as us. But when we put in the request and when the information from our stakeholders was known, the challenges and the risks that are associated with this high water level and the impending rain coming through, strike teams have been able to assemble from nearly all over Victoria, which has been really, really impressive, given the fact that some of these strike teams have come from places that have had their own weather events and have had to pick up and move on straight away again. So it's been really good. Hello, my name's Shane Addison. I'm from Scoresby Fire Brigade and in the background here we've got Scoresby Hoeslay. We were called up to Atukah yesterday to help with the emergency flood relief and to work with local CFA and SES crews in trying to mitigate that flood risk. Our whole purpose here is to provide the hose and we've got 2.3 kilometres of 100-mil hose on board and work with FRV pumper strike teams and if the water does breach or we have rainfall inside the safe area we can pump it back out into the river. So that is essentially our task and we've been doing some pumping today and we've moved already about one milliliter or one million litres of water just to make sure we can move it and the Hoeslay will be here until Tuesday next week or longer if required. All I can say is if you're at a job and you're thinking about how we're going to move that water and do we need bigger hose, make that call in the fire column and request the resource we normally travel right throughout Victoria but it's the only hose layer that CFA has and we'd like to see it utilised a lot more because we know the value that it can add. Yes, I'm Peter Leitch. I volunteer from the Wengerata fire brigade and currently one of the team members and team leaders of the Wengerata mobile command van. We've been for the last three days we've been working out a shepherden with the floods, with the strike team then we've been redeployed today up to Rochester to assist with strike teams working in this area. We're doing radio communications and logging work that they've been doing and so they've been doing everything from welfare checks to delivering sandbags delivering medicines, delivering food so we've just been coordinating that with all the strike teams. They were missing me not to touch on the amount of donations and support we've had from not just local businesses but businesses indeed throughout the state and Australia. We've had offers of pumps we've had offers of food we've had offers of diesel we've had offers of everything you can think of to help mitigate this risk and to keep our crews going and it's amazing, it's amazing. We've had 16 three inch quick fill pumps being donated which the DMOs are working on right at the moment to make them fit and ready for pumping should we need it and definitely when we move into the recovery phase.
