BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:29):</by>  I feel I have answered it. A lot of communication is happening. There are a lot of units on the ground during a fire, as you would be aware. I am always happy to take on feedback. As I have said to many members within the Region 4, I want to hear what worked and what didn't work. My door is open. I really do want to hear the feedback.</text>

I would love to hear from them directly as well. That is why I went to Wilmington: to listen to those stories, to learn, because keeping our community safe is paramount.</text>
