Victorian Fire Risk Register (VFRR)
The Victorian Fire Risk Register - Bushfire (VFRR-B) is a process in which representatives from local government, fire services, public land managers, utilities and community groups map assets at risk from bushfire and assess the level of risk to the assets. The Springhurst community residences are rated at Very High risk in the VFRR. While there may not be fires in the local landscape currently, it is strongly recommended and encouraged that all residents are aware of their bushfire risk and take responsibility for the safety of their themselves, family, pets and livestock. This information session is the first step to reduce risk and stay safe, even in the most extreme conditions.
