To support CFA’s Vision that Victorian communities should be prepared for and safe from fire along with the CFA‘s Mission to protect lives and property. We will help achieve these through:

An efficient operational capability

• That meets CFA service delivery standards with the appropriate mix of trained personnel and vehicles being responded to incidents.
• Through reviewing and testing our operational pre-plans.
• By having firefighting equipment that is regularly maintained, tested and updated as required.
• Through working cooperatively with CFA District, other CFA Brigades, FRV Station 73 and other agencies to protect our community.

A self-reliant, resilient community

• Being an active member in our Community and fostering key community partnerships.
• Promoting CFA and Brigade messages through local newsletters and social media.
• Holding a range of community education activities including an annual open day.
• Reviewing our Risk Treatment Plan annually.
