 This project focused on ignition of grass fires by harvesting equipment. These ignitions and the impact of the fire has huge social effects on small, valuable agricultural communities. In 2014, the CFA, in partnership with the Victorian Farmers Federation, launched a pilot voluntary grain harvesting guide program which encouraged farmers to determine their local grassland fire danger index during harvesting season. The program was initially piloted in Warwick, Nabil and Ebeneze where local farmers were encouraged by their local CFA members and the Victorian Farmers Federation to take part in the program. The farmers were given the tools to determine their grassland fire danger index during harvesting season and were asked to cease harvesting on high fire risk days. To calculate their grassland fire danger index, the farmers used localised factors including relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, fuel curing, crop type and took into consideration where there are any fire breaks in the close proximity. If the rating was 35 or above, it was recommended not to harvest crops on that day. The program was deemed a success as the farmers involved in the program participated in a voluntary capacity and all parties involved in the program accepted ownership of the project. The judges said that this program demonstrated that by partnering with organisations such as the Victorian Farmers Federation and then rolling out a program on a local level using local members can ensure a high uptake and success of a voluntary fire prevention program.
