Wye River - Separation Creek - Forrest - Birregurra (Victoria) Fire Support 2015-2016
On the 24th December 2015, LifeAid was requested to provide Fire Fighter support by DELWP (Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning ex-DEPI) initially on the fire front in Wye River and Separation Creek where over 160 houses sadly were lost. This later expanded to Base Camp support at Forrest and Birregurra.
