Discarded cigarettes are not only the most littered item in Australia, they are also a major caus...e of bushfires each year Let's tidy up our act and bin our butts!

25.01.2022 CREW LEADERS Congratulations to Richard, Maxine and Noel on completing your advanced bushfire fighting and crew leader courses on the weekend. Well done to all and I feel confident you will be continue to be great leaders both on the fire ground and in other roles within the brigade.

24.01.2022 Only a couple of months away from the new bush fire season. Please be vigilant and look out for all the emergency services working to protect lives and property.

24.01.2022 A couple of photos taken the day after our hazard reduction burn. Good job done by members in protecting trees from being burnt too much. Understory will grow back and flourish as there is not much competition for space as the leaf and other litter has been removed.

12.01.2022 Being prepared before it all goes shaped could save you a lot of time, money, or even your life. There are easy tasks that can be done throughout the year to ...better prepare you and your family for emergencies. With warmer weather already here, unfortunately bushfires are not far away. Print this simple checklist for your fridge and set aside some weekend time to ready your home and your family for an emergency.

12.01.2022 A couple of short videos of our hazard reduction burn done on 30.09 20

08.01.2022 Thankyou Southern Ports for the very kind donation of a fridge for our heavy 2.4 truck. Really appreciated by the brigade.

07.01.2022 Members from Redmond, Highway, Elleker, Torbay and South Coast brigades got together this past Saturday for an inter-brigade training event. Big thanks go to Hans and Tash (Highway), Rohan (South Coast) Stretch (King River) and Roy (Elleker) for helping out as trainers. It's great to see experienced members so willing to train up and coming members. Teams practiced setting up water points using hydrants and fast fill pumps, creating fire lines using rake hoes and foam branches, and were introduced to the Incident Control Van. The skills learned at the different stations were put to good use in a 45minute scenario. Appliances on three sectors did a great job establishing fire lines, putting out the imaginary fire, responding to a Red Flag warning and chasing down a hop-over. Thanks to all who attended. It was a great afternoon!

07.01.2022 Took the appliances for a drive prior to washing them. Nice and clean now thanks to Brian Boreham, Brian Plummer, Joe Maroney and Tom Devries. Extra thanks to Tom for taking the old materials and rubbish to the tip. Great to have support of members in the mundane tasks we have to undertake.

07.01.2022 John and Maxine represented Elleker Brigade as part of the team deployed to the Wooloroo fires in Perth. They did themselves credit and they should be very proud of their efforts during a very stressful period. Well done to you both and we look forward to hearing tales of your experiences.

03.01.2022 Elleker Brigade helped a local property owner today by burning a couple of piles of dry branches, A couple of hours work by the brigade reduces the risk of private burns getting out of control. Thanks goes out to Wayne, Bryce, John and David for giving up their time today. Thank you Judy for the generous donation. It will be put to good use.

03.01.2022 Western Power are getting behind the Volunteer Bushfire Brigades and supporting them in obtaining items that will make our jobs much safer for all members of the brigades. The items they sponsor are not provided by Local Government and /or DFES, so if we require them we have to fundraise or receive sponsorship/donations from other sources. It is really appreciated by Elleker Volunteer Bushfire Brigade for this assistance and you can be assured that any donations given to us are used directly by the brigade and no admin fees are deducted from them. Thanking you once again.

02.01.2022 Elleker and South Coast Brigades assisting Highway with a hazard reduction burn in Warrenup. Two of our younger members Sjaan and Bryce had their first experience at this and they acredited themselves very well. Special thanks goes to Ben Braun from Highway for buying us pizzas. Nice gesture and appreciated by all.

02.01.2022 New addition to our brigade loo thank you Roy

01.01.2022 This is why you need to monitor your hazard reduction burns even during periods of low risk. It takes 1 minute to go from a gentle trickling fire to a major problem. Keep in mind it takes your local bushfire brigade 10 -30 minutes before they are on the fire ground after you call 000.
