The FireWeb Information Module has been replaced with what is now the FFMVic Library which is part of the FFMVIC Portal (FireWeb Refresh Project).
The FFMVic Library is one of the first, production-ready components of the FireWeb Refresh project.
It contains exactly the same documents as FireWeb’s Information module

Thank You
- Thank you to Leanne Buchanan for great foresight shown regarding the move of TSU applications to Horizon (cloud) environment. This has meant that the recent fires at 8 Nicholson Street, East Melbourne and the subsequent closure of the building has not impacted our users of TSU FFM Applications.
- Thanks to DELWP and partner agencies for housing itinerant 8 Nicholson Street staff on very short notice.
- Thank you to Clare Allanson and Gary Turnham for their efforts in preparing the FMS Product Release Plan for June 2019
- Thanks to Alison and Sam Basham ( Midlands) for organising a field visit to view a planned burn site for the new starters in FMS Team
- A huge thanks to Christine Spits (Geospatial Analyst within the eMap team) for the huge amount of work undertaken recently around the FMS re-build and the changes that needed to be made to eMap and our data to accommodate this. What was initially thought to be a simple request and task ended up being far bigger than any of us expected, but thanks to Christine's hard work, the work was completed on time for our most recent release.
