As the CFA supports the ARFF (Aviation and Rescue Fire Fighting service) there is a requirement for the CFA to provide additional volunteer and staff support during the event.

The Portarlington CFA was more then happy to provide 9 members during the 3 days to assist in all different types of duties from crew leaders to bus drivers. With 3 members being present on Saturday when high winds caused chaos and flipped at least 4 light air craft in the high winds.
