Kyneton residents are being encouraged to attend a community information session to learn more about bushfire readiness.
Kyneton Fire Brigade will host the information session at Bushland Resort on Thursday 29 January with the aim of educating more locals about bushfires.
The session will be led by County Fire Authority (CFA) staff and local volunteers with recent, lived experience of bushfires.
“We will cover the issues people are telling us they are confused about,” Kyneton Fire Brigade said in a social media post.
The fire brigade said topics covered on the night would include the difference between VicEmergency warnings and the Australian Fire Danger Rating System, what those warnings actually mean for decision-making and when to leave early and why that matters.
The session will also cover property preparation, what recovery from fire looks like and first-hand reflections from people involved in the Harcourt fire earlier this month.
“This is not a lecture. It is a conversation focused on practical choices before, during, and after fire,” Kyneton Fire Brigade said.
“If you live near bushland, care for others, or want clearer information before the next high-risk day, this session is for you.
“Bring your questions. Bring your family. Bring your neighbours. Community understanding saves time, reduces fear, and supports better decisions when it counts.”
The session will run from 7-8.30pm at 6 Melville Drive, Kyneton.
