PicturePublication details: 1994Description: 1 videocassette (VHS) (36 min.) : sd., col. ; 1/2 inSubject: On Wednesday, January 5, the CFA began its largest ever commitment to an interstate fire disaster. An initial commitment of 40 fire appliances and 200 personnel quickly expanded to more than 1600 people and 130 vehicles, including 85 fire tankers. As NSW was afflicted by more than 190 going fires, many caused by arsonists, the CFA mobilised support from every Region to provide relief to NSW and to maintain a high level of protection at home. This video contains 36 minutes of edited highlights of the CFA involvement and marks the contribution of those who went interstate, those who stayed here to protect Victoria, and the lessons we can learn from the NSW experience.
