Photographs supplied by Nancy Alford
The plaque commemorates the efforts of volunteers with the Country Fire Authority and others combating the Anakie Fires of January 2006.
In January 2006 lightning brought wildfire to one of the State's most loved parks. Despite lengthy efforts to control the fire from DSE, Parks Victoria and CFA fire fighters, flames engulfed more than 6700 hectares of National Park, public land and pasture land before finally being controlled on Tuesday 24 January 2006. The fire threatened the town of Anakie and more than 40 percent of the National Park was destroyed.
