 When the CFA's Diamond Creek Brigade was looking for new opportunities to teach fire safety messages to its community, Fiona Mackin from the CFA Diamond Creek Brigade suggested partnering maternal and child health centres in the delivery of their new parent programs. Initially the program rolled out with the help of maternal and child health nurses at the MCH Centre in Diamond Creek who allowed the CFA Diamond Creek Brigade to come in and present to new parent groups on the issue of home fire safety, bushfire preparedness and safety, as well as prevention of burns and scalds in small children. The project has delivered high quality, timely and relevant information to all new parents in the Diamond Creek and wider community for over a year. Due to the success of this program, Fiona has been invited to present new parent groups in Nillumbik and other CFA brigades, including CFA Hersbridge and CFA Doreen are also adopting the program. The judges said this project should be applauded for its obvious passion demonstrated in its concept as well as strategic and integrated design. It makes intelligent use of local community infrastructure and understands the necessity to integrate important messages into the existing responsibilities of time poor families.
