 I absolutely love being part of CFA, been a volunteer for nearly 40 years. The reason why I joined was I lived opposite the fire station when we moved to Rochester many, many years ago. When the siren would go off I'd get woken up and I thought I'd better join this mob rather than just lie in bed and listen to the noise, so it was by default that I joined and it's been a fascinating journey ever since. Urawa, no different to anywhere else in Victoria, looking at quite a busy season coming up. We've had prolific growth in the grassland. In the straf bogie ranges there's fuel reduction works undertaken there annually to reduce the risk. I came down to Anglesey 25 years ago and I was always expected that the local adult person became a member of the brigade. That's how I joined as a volunteer. Here in Anglesey there's 2,000 people, 20 odd thousand in summer, but they depend on this. I don't want to let them down. They have so much trust in us. I joined CFA when I was the age of 16 at a Baronia fire brigade. When I was about 20 I transferred across to Bayswater fire brigade. It's very rewarding. It's like an extended family. I remember when I joined first an older gentleman in town said to me, you've joined the fire brigade. I went, yeah, I did. He says, it'll get in your blood, you know, and yeah, nearly 15 years on I realised what he means. We do as an organisation 40,000 calls a year so that every one of those calls could be everything from a rubbish bin fire to, you know, a major, major bush fire that could last for, you know, some weeks. In my view, Victorians rely on CFA and should have every confidence in CFA's ability to continue to provide that service. I think all we do, whether you're a volunteer or a career, is just make sure that we're ready for that moment. When we train properly, prepare properly, take it seriously, look out for each other, then when we get tested, like we will, in some little community somewhere, it's going to get tested this summer, that we stand up. It doesn't matter what the incident might be. It doesn't matter what time of the day or night. It doesn't matter what the weather is doing, we are ready.
