Feb 7th 2009 black Saturday is a day that all Victorian will never forget
This weekend brings the anniversary to the devastating fires storm swept Victoria Killing 173 people. Church services were held throughout the state remembering those who died and give faith to those who survived.
No one could prepare themselves to what happened that day and moves to help re establish whole communities that vanished in the fire.
Many who lost their homes and business are still trying to re build and get their life back to normal despite the heroic efforts of volunteers and charities.
Strong winds of more than 100klm played havoc on those who were sent to fight the fires.

This day is also important to remember the CFA crews who risked their lives to battle the blaze.

We now will take you back to the story of.
One fireman stopped to help a koala that survived the fire. The Koala had no hesitation to seek help from the fireman how kindly accepted a drink. This now has become a symbol of the Country Fire Authority of Victoria.
It’s showed how the CFA has a commitment to its task and the Kindness and unconditional help they provide the community.
