BUSH FIREbulletin // CONTENTS Foreword There has been considerable attention recently on challenging and destructive bush fres such as those which affected communities like Tathra and around south-western Sydney. These fres were diffcult to contain, and were particularly challenging given how late in the season they occurred. It’s worth remembering though that these events across March and April, were just two of more than 14,000 bush and grass fres our members have dealt with across the 2017/18season. The state’s north saw fre activity in August and September, and while there was somewhat of a reprieve during October and November, serious fres were experienced in areas such as the Hunter, Northern Tablelands and western Sydney by Christmas. In the early parts of this year, the challenge continued thanks to lightning causing around 500 new fres across the ranges. The late conclusion to the fre season – which saw a total of 22 days of total fre ban and more than 70 homes destroyed – shows how we, just like the community, can’t be complacent about the threat of fre. While the loss of property is a tragedy for those affected, it’s worth refecting once again on a very important statistic – that is, there was no loss of human life. It’s important to recognise that this includes no loss of frefghters. I’m always reminded of the danger that our people face, never more so than when I attended the recent National Volunteer Memorial service held in Canberra on 1 May. A new memorial wall was unveiled at the ceremony, featuring the names of more than 70 NSW RFS volunteers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. You can read more about the memorial in this edition of the Bulletin. You will also fnd in this issue a feature on the new Brigade Constitution, which is now in effect for all brigades. This is a big step forward for the Service and, most critically, it provides a greater level of certainty and IN THE NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE protection for our members. The Constitution allows brigades to maintain their identity, and create brigade rules and standing orders, to ensure the brigade operates effectively and within the requirements of today’s WE VALUE legislative environment. As we send off our members to assist with the devastating fres in the United States and Canada this month, we can look back with pride at the community and environment unprecedented deployment of front-line frefghters to British Columbia in 2017. The article in this issue highlights the fascinating differences in support, friendship and camaraderie frefghting in these locations compared with Australia. The 2018/19 season is starting early. Whatever role you perform in your knowledge and learning brigade, stay safe and thank you all for your continued service with the NSW RFS. integrity and trust Regards, one team, many players and one purpose adaptability and resourcefulness mutual respect Shane Fitzsimmons AFSM NSW RFS Commissioner facebook.com/rfscommissioner @RFSCommissioner infocus Reduced traffc speed trial to keep members safe New Research Hub to focus on bush fre risk From September this year there will be a twelve-month trial of The University of Wollongong will house a new $4 million a speed limit around emergency vehicles on NSW roads.

It is stage one of the development for the Paddock to Plate exhibition to open at Orange Regional Museum in April 2008. It is primarily written for the development team in the next stage who will go on to prepare the exhibition. The guiding question, therefore, is: what will they need out of this document? So this document tells the historical story of food and wine structured by 15 key themes, and addresses the myriad of components in creating an exhibition through the identification of key story elements, and potential people profiles, objects, films and photographs that could be used in the exhibition. The visitor Writing this report, I have also kept in mind that the very end user of all this information will be the museum visitor. All exhibition development starts and ends with the visitor. It is their experience and their need, which structure the actual end outcome: the exhibition. So in writing this document, as that stage one, I have always held in mind who the visitor is and what we know about their needs, and how they use exhibition spaces.
