23.01.2022 Did you see anything? If you did please contact the police. **** Theft Of Roadwork Signs **** Overnight, thieves have removed 35 road signs from the length of the Princes Highway currently under construction to the east of Talindert Road, Camperdown. The signs were set out by roadworking contractors in order for the length of road to comply with legislation and to provide a safe working environment for the road workers.... The stolen signs are described as 1200mm x 900mm steel frames with corflute message board inserts. It appears that the thieves would have required a trailer, utility or truck to remove all of the signs. Anyone with information is urged to contact Acting Sergeant Don CAMILLERI at Camperdown Police on (03) 5593 1000. Alternatively, an anonymous report can be made to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

15.01.2022 If you were out walking down the main street this afternoon and saw us driving around with our lights and sirens on and wondered what we were up to we received a callout for a car accident with possible person trapped between Camperdown and Weerite. While on the way to the accident the Triple 0 call taker was able to get more info and it turned out the accident was actually on the Camperdown-Darlington Rd in Darlington, so we started heading that way with support from SES M...ortlake Unit. Once police arrived on scene they found nil persons trapped and cancelled our response. Our callouts this month so far are 1 Car accident in Boorcan 1 Tree down Princes Highway Boorcan 1 Car accident in Camperdown/Darlington area.

10.01.2022 Everyone who comes to work, whether it be firey, ambo, police, we want to go home at the end of the day, and we dont want something which would be a minor acc...ident at 40km/h to be a catastrophe at 80km/h, 90km/h or 100km/h.

07.01.2022 Busy day for the unit today with two calls for assistance first was to back SES Cobden Unit up at a rescue where a persons foot was stuck under a heavy object the person was able to be freeed without our help and the second was to tarp a house roof after a fire earlier in the day. Its also disappointing to hear while Camperdown Fire Brigade and other local brigades were attending to the fire that most cars driving past decided to drive thru the road closure signs that had been put up and also tried to pass thru the fire scene. The signs were put up not just for the firefighters safety but yours as well..
