This week the Darlington Bushfire Ready Group celebrated its 30th anniversary, placing it amongst the oldest BRGs in Western Australia.
From the Community Fireguard program, to Bushfire Ready Action Groups (BRAG), to today’s BRG, thirty years of Bushfire Ready in Darlington has shown that preparedness is about more than individual households. It’s about neighbours helping neighbours, sharing local knowledge and building a community that is better prepared to face bushfires together.
Congratulations to Colin James AFSM and his team, Kate, Georgina and Ken, on celebrating such an important community milestone.
