Springvale fire brigade celebrate Chinese New Year

CFA took part in Chinese New Year celebrations with the people of Springvale on 25 January 2009.

The Springvale Fire Brigade has taken part in the carnival for a number of years, and with around 80,000 people in attendance, the day was a great chance to teach the local community about home fire safety.

A Chinese translator was on hand throughout the day to help get the message across. As always Captain Koala was a huge hit (even winning a prize), click on the photos below to take a look at the action!
