23.01.2022 Just a reminder, Boort Fire Brigade's annual Christmas hamper raffle will be on Saturday the 19th of December outside the IGA, please support your local brigade. $2 per ticket. Prize is a wheelbarrow full of groceries. Drawn on the day.

23.01.2022 We’ve had many enquirers regarding how people can help out with the current bushfires, the best way is to make an online donation. There are reports that many volunteers across charity organizations, are spending a lot of time sorting through goods rather than assisting communities. If you would like to help, An official Bushfire Disaster Appeal has been set up in response to the overwhelming request from our generous community who are wanting to make donations.... Experience tells us that donation of money is much more effective and provides more flexibility than the donation of material items. If you would like to donate to the Bushfire Disaster Appeal you can do so here: http://emergency.vic.gov.au/relief/#donations

08.01.2022 Bill Slade (FFMV) Mat Kavanagh (FFMV) David Moresi (FFMV) Geoffrey Keaton (NSW RFS) Andrew O’Dwyer (NSW RFS)... Samuel McPaul (NSW RFS) Ian McBeth (Coulson Aviation - Montana) Paul Hudson (Coulson Aviation - Arizona) Rick DeMorgan Jr (Coulson Aviation - Florida) Today on International Firefighters Day (St Florian’s Day) we honour our firefighting colleagues worldwide for their service to their communities and remember those who have fallen in the line of duty. Volunteering and working to serve your community as a firefighter is a brave and generous act. Sadly this year we remember the nine firefighters lost during the catastrophic 2019/2020 Australian bushfire season. In Victoria, we acknowledge the wonderful work of our firefighting colleagues within CFA, and those from the MFB (Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade) and Forest Fire Management Victoria. We also pause to honour the memory of the 79 CFA (Country Fire Authority) firefighters that have not come home, having lost their own lives while protecting the lives and property of others. May those who never made it home continue to Rest In Peace having paid the ultimate price on the fireline - in our hearts and thoughts, and with our most grateful thanks for their service.

07.01.2022 Just keep this in mind today! Maybe keep the washing off the line!
