CFA’s Fire Safety Pledge promotion is now open and will run until 3 December 2015.
Brigades are asked to encourage members of the public to visit; http://thefiresafetypledge.com.au/ and make a simple pledge that they will undertake activities to reduce their risk or better prepare themselves for fire.
It is designed to be an additional and innovative fun way to engage with the community around fire safety this year.
Members making the pledge are invited to nominate their local CFA brigade – there are prizes for the participant, and the Brigade can win up to $1,000 to be used for anything it feels would benefit the brigade and local community.
Brigades are encouraged to promote this campaign by;
- Sharing on Social Media
- Emails by individual Brigade members to families, friends and other contacts
- iPad/Tablet/Laptop stands at CFA Open Days, Ritchies supermarket displays, Bunnings BBQ events or other planned community engagement events
- Engaging local media to write a story
- Engaging key local figures to promote the pledge, such as MPs, Mayors, business leaders or the leaders of sporting/community clubs.

This promotion has been supported and endorsed by our Joint VFBV/CFA Community Safety Committee and Brigades are encouraged to take it up at the local level.
