First, a member of counsel needs to announce his 4 appearance for the United Firefighters Union. I will just 5 ask him to come forward. 6 MR TRAGARDH: If the Commissioners please, my name is Andrew 7 Tragardh. I appear with Mark Dean of Senior Counsel for 8 the United Firefighters Union. 9 MS DOYLE: The hearings this week will focus on the Churchill 10 fire which burned on 7 February this year. There is some 11 background that is relevant to events in the Gippsland 12 area and the Latrobe Valley in particular, including the 13 fact that the Delburn fires had been burning already in 14 this area during late January and in the early hours of 15 7 February the Bunyip fire escaped containment lines. 16 This meant that resources in the area were already 17 somewhat stretched when 7 February dawned. 18 In anticipation of the weekend weather, attention 19 had been given by the CFA and the DSE in the lead-up to 20 the 7th to preparation and resourcing and availability of 21 staff in the Latrobe Valley area.

  • Terms of Reference
    From: Yinnar Fuel & Farm To: Committee, Environment (REPS) Subject: Inquiry into the efficacy of past and current vegetation and land management policy Date: Tuesday, 7 January 2020 8:13:57 AM Please find attached my submission for the above. Terms of Reference The Committee will inquire into and report on the efficacy of past and current vegetation and land management policy, practice and legislation and their effect on the intensity and frequency of bushfires and subsequent risk to property, life and the environment. The inquiry will have particular regard to: Past and current practices of land and vegetation management; We all know in the early years, the aboriginals burnt out bush areas to protect themselves and improve feed availability for the native wildlife to ensure their own food source. Many have written that the bush areas resembled that of a well maintained park that you would now find in the city. The aboriginals managed the bush, learning over thousands of years that if they burnt too hot, they destroyed the structure of the soil which resulted in unwanted weeds and plant species that were of no benefit. Burning cool they learnt that the good species of grasses and trees germinated with less unwanted weeds and plant species invading. My dad, now deceased and his dad worked the bush in their early years and it was all manual labour in those days. I remember my dad saying that they used to throw down a match wherever they were working and let the small fire trickle around them. They would do the same at every work site.
