CFA volunteers are travelling to Melbourne to make sure the issues affecting frontline volunteers and the communities they protect are heard directly at Parliament.
The Melbourne Rally is about bringing rural communities, CFA volunteers and supporters together to highlight concerns about volunteer support, resourcing and the future of emergency services in Victoria.
If you support CFA volunteers, you can attend the rally, stand alongside them, share the message and help ensure their concerns are heard.

The Committee and members of Protect Our Farms are very sad to hear of the passing of Pat Clarke.
A dedicated, long serving member of the CFA and hard working farmer, Pat also was a keen photographer who generously allowed Protect our Farms to use his work in our digital and printed products.
We send our condolences to his family, friends and community.
A true gentleman.Vale, Patrick Clarke
It is with heavy hearts that Springfield Fire Brigade shares the sad news of the passing of our mate, Pat Clarke.
Ex-Captain Pat was a true gentleman, a respected firefighter and a man with an incredible passion for his community. His knowledge, dedication and friendship have left a lasting mark on all of us.
Our thoughts are with Pat’s family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. We hope they can take comfort in knowing just how much Pat was respected, admired and loved by his brigade family and the wider community.
Pat’s name is proudly carried on Springfield Tanker 2 — and every time that truck rolls out of the station, we’ll know a little piece of you is with us.
With your name proudly on the truck, Pat, we know you’ll always be with us.
Sound the Horn and Rally the Volunteers.
Updated convoy details for Melbourne, please share.

Would you like a sign?
The Protect our Farms Committee are opening up the remainder of our signs for distribution to anyone willing to display them.
On a fence, gate, vehicle or other prominent position....anywhere that we can get our message out to a wide audience.
Ideally we'd appreciate a small donation but if not, we're happy to provide a sign to supporters.
Let us know and we'll get one to you.
