Hundreds of CFA volunteers from across Melbourne’s inner northwest gathered in Bulla recently to run vital training and simulation exercises, as Victoria’s emergency services ramp up for the higher-risk weather season.  

Hume CFA Group teamed up with crews from Forest Fire Management Victoria and the Victoria State Emergency Service at the Organ Pipes National Park for the annual Hume Group pre-season exercise.  

Firefighters ran training exercises simulating fast-moving grassfires and bushfires and put into practice firefighting and incident management tactics.
