"Our community has been deeply affected by these fires; our lives forever changed.

"We are saddened by the loss of homes, pets and treasured personal effects.
"We feel forever indebted to the brave men and women in uniforms of yellow, green and blue."
Mr Northe said the bushfire book provided an outlet for all Victorians to record messages for posterity.

Signed pages from both offices will be returned to Parliament House and bound into books for display.
