The CFA  have had a number of requests to circulate the notes from last month’s public meeting – no doubt partly stimulated by what is happening in the urban areas of LA.

Click here  4a. Jan 9th 2025 Flinders CFA public meeting summary for full notes. The key messages are to get prepared, establish a trigger point for your (early) departure, and stick with it. In the village itself, the “Go two streets back” is the key. Your local brigade has done extensive work pre-planning for a fire front attacking Flinders. While quite unlikely, if it does happen, it will most likely come from the north / north west and retreating two streets back from any fire is the easiest and most sensible response for people living in our village.

Our area is now entering “peak” fire season, so please be prepared and stay alert. If any questions or concerns, or if you need us to assist in your preparation, please textme on 0416 178 547 or email to davidm869@gmail.com or contact Odilia Ross on 0419 546 436
