Bushfire archetypes research is informing current and future thinking about community safety approaches

This video has been developed to highlight the key findings from the archetypes research and the ways this evidence can inform our approaches at CFA.

We'd like to acknowledge the help we received from Woodend locals and CFA volunteers in making the video.
