HOT SPOT – GIPPSLAND’S EMERGENCY SERVICES NEED YOUR HELP TO PREPARE – PREVENT – PINPOINT – PURSUE - PROSECUTE

Bushfires can have a devastating impact on the community, as proven locally in 2009 with the Delburn and Churchill complexes of fires. It has the potential to injure and kill, cause significant financial loss, and destroy property as well as the environment. As ever, Gippsland emergency services require the assistance of the public in combating the causes, both accidental and deliberate, of bushfires.

It is not just police who will be patrolling areas which may be targeted by arsonist. Employees from all partner agencies in the Gippsland Arson Protection Program (GAPP) are on the lookout for suspicious behaviour in our bush. They have the capacity to immediately contact police and CFA should the need arise.

This year the GAPP partners are urging the public to be even more responsible than previously and to take extreme care when using fire or equipment that may spark and cause an accidental bushfire.

SEEN SOMETHING? KNOW SOMETHING? SAY SOMETHING.

It is bushfire arsonist that the GAPP partnership targets. All members of the community must do their bit to ensure the community’s collective safety during the fire season.

Whether you live or work in, or simply travel through bushfire prone areas, be alert to the possibility you might see something or know someone who may be planning to deliberately or recklessly light a bushfire. We ask you to be vigilant and to stress if you have Seen Something? or Know Something? - Say Something.

Please remember the five Ps, PREPARE – PREVENT – PINPOINT – PURSUE – PROSECUTE, as a strategy in combating bushfires.
PREPARE –Prepare your home and other properties by making them fire safe. If you plan a burn off, obtain a permit and register the planned burn. Monitor the weather and listen to, watch or read news services. Know how and where to contact and find information services. But above all, ready your fire plan and be prepared to act upon, and if necessary instigate it.
PREVENT – If burning off, ensure you have all the equipment necessary and a supply of water available to prevent your burn getting away from you. Abide by restrictions, Total Fire Bans and Code Red days. Read the CAN I OR CAN’T I brochure.

PINPOINT- Victoria Police and GAPP partners will be conducting patrols on Code Red days and we want the public to report suspicious behaviour, particularly in the bush, to help us pinpoint locations where the arsonists do their test burns.

Arsonist don’t just decide to light a fire. They plan, they reconnoitre and they test. If you see what looks to be a small, or even tiny, extinguished fire/burn in the bush, let the authorities know about it. It may be a warning sign of a greater threat. So do not hesitate. If you See Something, Say Something.

PURSUE - Investigations into suspicious fire activity and persons of interest will be undertaken. The pursuit of offenders and investigation into arson is the responsibility of the police. Your information is vital in assisting with the pursuit of arsonists.

Place the blank GAPP Suspicious Incident Report on your refrigerator or put it in an easy to get to spot. Notes made immediately after an incident occurs are more accurate than trying to remember or recreate the incident later. They are also given more credence by the courts in the event an offender is arrested, charged and prosecuted. So if you Know Something, Say Something.

PROSECUTE – The small pieces of information you record may help prevent or solve a crime as they can lead to the building of a significant profile about persons, vehicles, and arson related activities. Your small piece of information may result in the successful prosecution of an arsonist. Again, help the police. Ifyou have Seen Something? or Know Something? Say Something.

Police urge anyone who observes something that piques your curiosity and gives you the feeling that this is not quite right to fill in the GAPP Suspicious Incident Report.

Police urge anyone who may have information related to arson activities to contact Crime Stoppers on: 1800 333 000 or visit: www.crimestoppers.com.au or ring 000 if the threat is immediate.

A MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT TESS WALSH DIVISIONAL COMMANDER - VICTORIA POLICE EASTERN REGION DIVISION FIVE

The Gippsland Arson Prevention Program (GAPP) was formed as a result of the devastating 2009 Gippsland bushfires. Emergency management agencies and industries from across Gippsland joined together to target and reduce the incidence of arson.

Joining Victoria Police and the CFA in partnership to combat arson are organisations and businesses including HVP Plantations, Loy Yang Power, Energy Australia, Gippsland Water, our four local government areas, Latrobe City, Bass Coast, Baw Baw and South Gippsland Shires, the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), Parks Victoria and Monash University's Sustainability Institute.

Partner agencies have developed a coordinated approach as we all watch for suspicious behaviour in the bush. We aim to reduce the incidence and impact of bushfire arson across Gippsland this coming bushfire season.

Members of the public also have a role to play to ensure the community’s collective safety during the fire season. Be alert to the possibility you might see something or know someone who may be planning to deliberately light a bushfire.

In the event of a bushfire, the Country Fire Authority will be the combating authority, but it is the police who will investigate in the aftermath.

I urge anyone who who observes something that piques your curiosity and gives you the feeling that this is not quite right to fill in the GAPP Suspicious Incident Report. Above all, report what you see and hear to police, no matter how trivial you may think the information is.

Small bits of information when collated can lead to the building of a significant profile about persons and vehicles of interest and arson related activities. Most importantly, this information may prevent a tragedy or lead to the apprehension and prosecution of the person or persons responsible.

PREPARE - DURING THE DECLARED FIRE PERIOD OBTAIN A PERMIT FROM THE CFA

Once the Country Fire Authority has declared the municipality to be in a Fire Danger Period residents must obtain a CFA permit before a burn-off can occur.

You can download a permit application form from the CFA website at www.cfa.vic.gov.au or you can contact your local CFA District headquarters and ask for one to be mailed to you. A list of contact numbers for CFA District headquarters is available on the website, or you can request one by phoning (03) 9262 8444.

If you have been issued a permit by the CFA you need to register your burn prior to starting it. You can do this by contacting the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority by telephoning 1800 668 511.

Conversely, if you wish to check on burn-offs in your area you can get information about planned burns (and bushfire information) by calling the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667 or the National Relay Service on 1800 555 677.

Naturally, in an emergency or to report a fire dial Triple Zero (000) and state the service you want; police, fire or ambulance and the town /area you are in. You will then be put through to a trained call-taker.

PREPARE YOUR BUSHFIRE SURVIVAL KIT

Fire agencies recommend having a kit ready at all times during the bushfire season. Keep your survival kit in a familiar place and make a list of items you will need to locate quickly in your home. Your kit should include:

  • Battery-powered radio (with spare batteries);
  • Protective clothing for each person, including long-sleeved cotton or natural fibre tops, pants, overalls, sturdy protective shoes or boots with woollen socks, hats, face masks, towels, eye protection such as goggles;
  • Medicines you're taking and a first aid kit;
  • Overnight bag with a change of clothes and toiletries;
  • Special needs for infants, the aged and people with disabilities;
  • Important information including passports, wills, photos, jewellery, insurance papers;
  • Pet food, water and bedding;
  • Mobile phone and charger;
  • Up to ten litres of water per person (should last three days);
  • Canned food items with can opener and utensils;
  • Wool blankets;
  • Strong plastic bags;

Contact information for essential services and locations of local bushfire shelters.

This survival kit information comes direct from ABC Gippsland’s Plan for an Emergency: Bushfire page at http://www.abc.net.au/news/emergency/plan-for-an-emergency/bushfire/?ref=front-page-slider-gippsland-regional-landing

Make a point of visiting this page as part of your bushfire preparation.

BURN-OFF PREPARATIONS – BEFORE YOU BURN;
  • Make sure you take extreme care when burning off and never be complacent;
  • Never leave a fire unattended, especially in windy conditions, as it can quickly spread;
  • Be aware of your local council’s burn off laws;
  • Register the burn with CFA on 1800 668 511;
  • Check weather conditions regularly on the internet, radio, television and in the newspaper;
  • Tell your neighbours when you plan to burn-off to avoid brigades being called out unnecessarily by a neighbour;
  • Ensure water is nearby in case a burn-off escapes. Have your hose ready to use and place buckets full of water around the burn-off area for quick and ready saturation;
  • Leave a three metre fire break, free of flammable materials around your burn-off.
  • Have a mobile telephone on your person at all times when burning off.
  • If your burn-off gets out of control call ‘000’ immediately. Do not hesitate. A delay could be catastrophic.

For more information about burning-off, go to http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/restrictions/fire-danger-period-permits.htm

PREVENT - CAN YOU OR CAN’T YOU DURING THE DECLARED FIRE DANGER PERIOD?

The CFA declares an area to be in a Fire Danger Period (FDP) based on the conditions in that area. It does so municipality by municipality at the onset of warmer weather. This means East Gippsland may be in a declared FDP when Latrobe, Baw Baw, Bass Coast and South Gippsland are not. So you need to monitor for when your City or Shire is declared to be in a Fire Danger Period.

Total Fire Bans are declared by the CFA on days when fires are likely to spread rapidly and be difficult to control. The penalties for lighting fires illegally during the Fire Danger Period and on Total Fire Ban Days include large fines and possible imprisonment.

People are often confused about what they can and cannot do during the declared Fire Danger Periods and on days of Total Fire Ban. For this reason we would like to draw your attention to the CFA’s brochure, CAN I OR CAN’T I.

Produced in partnership with the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, the brochure details what you can and cannot do during declared Fire Danger Periods, and on days of Total Fire Ban, when fires in the open air are legally restricted. Questions such as Can I have a barbecue, light a campfire or light a fire for warmth or comfort? and Can I use a chainsaw, plant or grass trimmer or lawn mower?

INFORMATION SERVICES FOR GIPPSLAND EMERGENCIES
PREPARE NOW – NOTE THEM OR SAVE THEM TO YOUR FAVOURITES

In recent years Gippslanders have had to weather numerous emergency situations; bushfires, floods, storms and most recently our strongest earthquakes in decades.

In times of emergency many people choose to ring 000 in an attempt to find out information. This not only clogs the emergency telephone system, it can also delay emergency services getting help to those who are in genuine need of assistance.

All 000 Control Rooms (Police, CFA, SES and Ambulance) provide reactive coordination services. In other words, they take the call and dispatch responding units to where they are needed. They do not collate and save the information for public dissemination. That is the responsibility of other divisions within those organisations, such as Media Liaison Units.

It is vital you remember 000 IS NOT AN INFORMATION SERVICE – IT IS AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE.

During a bushfire emergency there are a number of sources you can use or access to obtain information. Here are some of them.

THE MEDIA –

A major cog in the delivery of Gippsland emergency information comes through our local media, television and print, but particularly radio. All stations provide a degree of information but in an emergency we recommend tuning into ABC Gippsland.

ABC Gippsland, at 100.7 FM and at 828 on the AM dial, delivers official warnings and alerts and publishes emergency information sourced from ABC Local Radio and ABC News. During an emergency ABC Gippsland will interrupt, and at times suspend, State-wide and Nation-wide programs to offer a local service outside of normal broadcasting hours. As information comes to hand it will broadcast updates and instructions from emergency agencies.

TELEPHONE SERVICES –

There are many services that can provide the information you need without ringing the 000 emergency services. Here are a few of them.

National Registration and Inquiry System - 1300 993 191 - If you are worried about friends or family.

National Relay Service - 1800 555 677 Victorian Bushfire Information Line - 1800 240 667

VicRoads Road closure information – 131170
