CFA website refresh: new fire safety content and updated section templates
CFA is launching a series of website improvements from 21 September, including the redevelopment of the Fire Safety and Resources sections and the rollout of new website templates across several other areas of the site.
Designed to improve how members and the community access information online, the changes will provide a more consistent and user-friendly experience.
At the centre of the release is the redevelopment of fire safety information. The Plan and Prepare section has undergone a comprehensive review of its content, structure and navigation and will be renamed Fire Safety. Content has been rewritten and reorganised to help members and the community find, understand and act on information more easily.
Key messages are supported by new videos, imagery and graphics that enhance the user experience.
A new Resources section will bring together publications, fact sheets, checklists and community education material in one central location, making it simpler for users to access and share information.
This work has also informed broader improvements across the website. As part of this release, the Warnings and Restrictions, Volunteers and Careers and About Us sections will also benefit from new website templates, creating a more consistent experience through improved layouts, navigation and accessibility.
The updated pages have been designed to work better across desktop, mobile and tablet, with clearer navigation and page structures to help users get to the information they need more quickly.
For members, the improvements will make it easier to access and share trusted CFA information when engaging with the community, whether at brigade events, school visits, community meetings or other activities.
During the transition period from 21 September, some users may temporarily encounter a mix of old and new page layouts, broken links or '404' pages for a few days while updates are being completed.
Members are encouraged to explore the updated sections when they are live.
