 This week is National Volunteer Week and on behalf of Natalie McDonald, our CEO and myself as your Chief Officer, I just wanted to send this message of thanks. Thanks to all our men and women and the volunteers across the CFA for everything that they do in service not only to this great organisation but to our communities. With over 50,000 Victorians forming part of this great organisation, doesn't matter with your urban or your rural or what role they play in the CFA, it's bringing a great diversity, a diversity of thought and diversity of skills into the CFA in practice of what we do for our community. I've just recently finished my Chief Tour of the State where I visited some 21 districts across our five regions listening to what matters most to our members. Natalie and I are working hard to increase the support available to our volunteers. As Chief Officer, I'm constantly proud of the work our volunteer brigades do day in and day out. This week is to highlight the value of our volunteers in our organisation and the great contributions they make to our communities.
