Today the Rushworth CFA took part in a multi-agency training exercise at the Moora Rec Reserve alongside Ambulance Victoria and SES.

The exercise gave all agencies the opportunity to put their skills into practice in a realistic scenario, while working together as they would at a real incident.

Training like this is an important part of keeping skills up to date and gives each agency the chance to work on communication, teamwork, scene management and understanding how everyone operates when responding together.

It was also a good opportunity to use equipment, practise different roles and learn from the experience and knowledge of the other agencies involved.

A big thank you to everyone from CFA (Rushworth), Ambulance Victoria and SES who gave up their time and took part today.

A very worthwhile day of training and a great opportunity for all agencies to work together.

Did you know that almost two thirds of people who die in house fires have a disability?

On average, 18 people die in preventable residential house fires in Victoria every year.

CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria have an online learning module to support at risk people with planning for fire emergencies at home.

Prevent, Detect, Escape – Home Fire Safety for people at higher risk is made for people at increased fire risk, and for people who support or care for them.

Maintain a clear safety zone around heaters, fireplaces and other appliances that produce heat.

• Supervise children around heaters and open fires.Keep kids at a safe distance and teach them about heat‑related dangers.

• Always use a screen in front of an open fire.A fire screen prevents sparks and embers from escaping. Ensure embers are completely cold before disposing of them.
