Case Studies

"In the recent, devastating, Victorian fires not only did we receive considerable fire fighting resources from other agencies in Australia and abroad - we also received two rotations of over 40 rangers to backfill critical gaps left by our staff who were fighting fires.These rangers came from other States, but most importantly came as a direct result of park agencies working together, at a time when we really needed their help!"
