Living or holidaying in a rural and/or relatively remote area means being surrounded by natural beauty, but it also means a greater risk of bushfires.
Join us for a community bushfire safety session. Fire Safety Essentials is a CFA fire safety program that aims to challenge participants to recognise their personal risk and survive fire. A little preparation now can make a big difference when it matters the most.
Residents and visitors from surrounding areas are encouraged and welcome to attend.

Victorian Fire Risk Register (VFRR)
The Victorian Fire Risk Register - Bushfire (VFRR-B) is a process in which representatives from local government, fire services, public land managers, utilities and community groups map assets at risk from bushfire and assess the level of risk to the assets. The Mitta Mitta community residences are rated at Extreme risk in the VFRR. While there may not be fires in the local landscape currently, it is strongly recommended and encouraged that all residents are aware of their bushfire risk and take responsibility for the safety of their themselves, family, pets and livestock. This information session is the first step to reduce risk and stay safe, even in the most extreme conditions.
