A fund to help communities affected by what have been called the worst fires in Victoria's history has been started with a $10 million contribution equally shared by the State and Federal governments.

Outside the CFA station at Kangaroo Ground, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd also pledged the strength of the Australian Defence Force to help Victoria in its time of crisis.
