 First-time residents in a bushfire or grass fire risk area are important people to engage with. There's a good chance they won't know anybody, and there's an even better chance they won't have thought about the local fire risk. If you're in a small community, it can be worth dropping in on new residents for a chat to talk about the local fire risk, their preparedness and the role of the brigade. Some brigades create a fire safety or CFA pack for new arrivals. Some, as can be seen here in Durham West, work with local real estate agents or local councils to make sure fire safety information gets included as part of the broader welcome packs for new residents. Local councils and real estate agents are often keen to work with local brigades on this. If you're interested in this approach, talk to your district headquarters and neighbouring brigades to work out the best way to go about it. As a general rule, new residents are very receptive to information from CFA. So make the most of it.
