Sign the petition to put Victoria’s volunteers FIRST and tell Daniel Andrews “Hands off the CFA!”
Victorians rely on volunteer firefighters to protect our communities when we need them most. Now our CFA volunteers need your support.

Please sign the petition to show your support for our CFA volunteers.
