Metal badge depicting flame, the Southern Cross and words VICTORIAN BUSHFIRES 2009. The badge was sent to all members of the Victorian public service who were involved in some way in the response to the 2009 Victorian bushfires, either during the fires themselves or in the aftermath.
Metal badge with pin and clasp, printed in black red, yellow, blue and silver depicting flame, the southern cross and wording VICTORIAN BUSHFIRES 2009. This badge is significant because it echoes the tradition of recognising participation in military campaigns with a pin or medal and connects the bushfires with broader concerns of national security.
