The impact of the St Patrick’s day fires in our area has been immense but fortunately no lives were lost. Our community has been humbled by the efforts of local CFA crews, shire workers, Powercor linesmen and the regional volunteers who supported them tirelessly on the fire ground, fire relief centers and donation points. As scary as it was, hopefully the fire plans prepared by Year 5/6 students in the 'TAP into Natural Disasters' unit and the advice from CFA personnel at the November TAP's On! workshops helped in some small way. |
