On behalf of everyone at VFBV, we wish all members, delegates, friends and supporters a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year.

We wish to especially acknowledge those of you and our members who will be called away over the Christmas and New year period serving their communities.

CFA volunteers work tirelessly to support and protect their communities 24/7. They will be giving up precious time with their families and loved ones to ensure their communities remain protected this holiday season. We take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our CFA Volunteers for the tremendous work they do in protecting our communities.

To all our volunteer firefighter's on the front line, and to the thousands of others who support in our communities or behind the scenes, well done and thank-you for your incredible contribution year after year.

To the families, employers and supporters of CFA volunteers we say thank you. Your support is crucial to the work our members do in protecting Victorian communities from fire and building safe and resilient communities, 365 days of the year.

May everyone have a Safe and Happy Christmas.

Stay safe over the holiday season, and please look out for one another.
