First place - Nariel Valley Fire Brigade. Photographer: Courtney Simpson
The Get Fire Ready photo competition was created to celebrate CFA brigades across Victoria and showcase the energy, dedication and community spirit behind local preparedness events.
The competition invited brigades to share moments that reflect meaningful community engagement — from conversations about fire safety to hands-on activities that help people prepare for the season ahead.
Congratulations to winner Courtney Simpson from Nariel Valley Brigade.
Courtney’s winning photo beautifully captures the sweeping Nariel Valley landscape and the deep connection the brigade has with its local community and environment. The photo embodies the essence of what Get Fire Ready is all about: community, place and preparedness.
Congratulations also to Emma Larsen from Gapsted Brigade,who was awarded runner-up for her standout entry.
Emma’s photo perfectly depicts the spirit of community engagement at Gapsted, with brigade members working alongside locals against the vibrant backdrop of the town’s rural setting. It’s a wonderful snapshot of teamwork and community resilience in action.
Both winning images exemplify the values at the heart of CFA - collaboration, readiness and the power of community working together.
