An official announcement would be a good idea then, to reduce confusion. (Also, locking this thread. )

Apparently they're finding it really hard to make ends meet and the funds would be very, very well received.

yes, animals or stfuDBoy wrote:SO the CFA have siad that most of there areas are recieving good funding at the moment, not in desperate need of cash. One area that does need cash is their education unit, which travels around to small towns and teaches kids and families about what to do in cause of fire and preperation etc.
This is not what we originally intended money to go to really, but sounds like a good program.
On the other hand, with the Safeway charity day and all the support CFA seem to be getting are we better off just hleping out wildlife vicotria, who are struggling big time?
I read an article on the education unit last week in the paper and it seemed like a really good idea. If people know about fires and how to save their properties and life, that's got to be a good program. Nothing is more heartbreaking than reading new stories of people who flee at the wrong time and get trapped and die in their carsDBoy wrote:SO the CFA have siad that most of there areas are recieving good funding at the moment, not in desperate need of cash.

I think educating the public, and getting rid of this "Fire; enemy of man" and "houses exploding! Fireballs!" bullshit that the media spits out or quotes from the mouths of the traumatised public is much more effective way of stoping fires from causeing property damage and injuring people than driving around squirting water at them. At least that's the very strong idea I got from the experts who research this kinda stuff when I did bushfire managment and ecology in undergrad.DBoy wrote:SO the CFA have siad that most of there areas are recieving good funding at the moment, not in desperate need of cash.
