 Victoria Police has led dozens of residents through a bushfire evacuation in Wyndham Vale to help communities on the urban fringe prepare for summer. 100 first responders all playing a part, showing how emergencies can snowball. Penelope Leish was there. A twisted wreck, passengers in pain. Anything else hurts or just, you know? My leg! The driver trapped. I've got to see if I risk my time to extract a theme on the driver. It might be a simulation. One serious break, complete roofed removal. But it's a very real look at the dangers of trying to flee a bushfire. I saw on day we're cutting the car's roof to get the driver out. Driving through smoke a hazard not only for those trying to escape. If people do decide to drive and they do have a collision, it takes the emergency services to focus on that incident. Wyndham Vale residents put through their paces during Operation Walkaway, ensuring those on the urban fringes are prepared for fire in the event it impacts built-up communities. Identify where they're at, and if they're on the urban fringe, then understand what our protocols are. The community using the Two Streets Back plan to relocate to a safe place, a nearby park. It's good for awareness, I think, and just not what to do in case of danger. The exercise not just about training residents, but helping emergency services. It's about a multi-agency preparation so that each agency can actually prepare for the upcoming fire season. The community training will roll out around the state, part of recommendations to enhance evacuation plans following the devastating bushfires over the summer of 2019 and 2020. It's very stressful and it's quite chaotic, so it's really important for people to try and establish a bushfire safety plan. As we move towards summer, the advice is to be prepared by downloading the Vic Emergency app and knowing where you'll assemble in the event of a fire. It's one less thing to worry about at the time when it actually happens. Penelope Riyush, 9 News.
