Can you share some Black Saturday CFA stories?

Sure. One survivor story is about a family who hid in their basement. They could hear the chaos outside, the roaring of the fire. They huddled together, praying for the fire to pass. They managed to survive by using wet blankets to protect themselves from the heat and smoke.

There was also a volunteer who organized a shelter for the displaced people. He used his own resources at first to provide food and water. As more people came to know about his efforts, others joined in. He made sure that the most vulnerable, like the elderly and children, had a safe place to stay during that difficult time.

One story is about a family who narrowly escaped. They were surrounded by the fast - approaching fire. They quickly got into their car with just a few essential belongings. As they drove away, they could see their home being engulfed in flames. It was a terrifying experience for them, but they were lucky to survive.

There was a candidate who was so nervous on the exam day. He accidentally wrote his name as the answer to one of the questions. When he realized later, he couldn't stop laughing at himself. And it became a running joke among his CFA prep friends.

One personal story could be of a family who lost their home on Black Saturday. They woke up to a wall of fire approaching and had to quickly evacuate with just the clothes on their backs. They watched as their beloved house, filled with memories, was consumed by the flames. It was a harrowing experience that left them traumatized and displaced for a long time.
