It was an awful day to have that happen but I thought our response was strong.
ACT
Interesting messaging in Facebook had quite a few negative comments but have a feeling many are
firefighters. Many names were recognised. We should work on a strategy on how to manage that
aspect.

INFORMATION
Hi all,
I thought the media after the fire today was strong. It was good to get our message out
straight away and meant we led most of the stories. It was also strong for holding a
OFFICIAL
consistent line on the strikes over the past month. Good message on recklessness, the
request to call off strikes for safety, previously having called for a process to call in, and
fact we're in facilitation.   THE
Also good to see van Velden and Simeon Brown come out in support.
I'm on call in case any follow up over the weekend. Out of scope

Thanks,
