23.01.2022 New Year’s Eve might look a bit different this year, but we urge everyone to farewell 2020 in the safest possible way, and particularly to avoid the dangers of illegal fireworks. Fireworks are dangerous and can not only start fires but also put those around them at risk of serious injuries, burns or even death. It is a crime for anyone other than licensed pyrotechnicians to use or possess fireworks. Any information about illegal fireworks can be reported confidentially to Cr...ime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au. Stay safe and do the right thing to look after yourselves, your family, friends and community. https://news.cfa.vic.gov.au/-/don-t-ruin-the-party-with-ill

19.01.2022 Grass fires Don’t get caught out! Yesterday at approximately 6:30 pm Epping, Cragieburn, Greenvale, Wollert and Kalkallo made you Strike team 1402 and attended a grass and scrub fire at Mount Cottrell. If you live next to grassland and a grassfire starts, walk at least two streets back from the fire. If you live two or three streets away from grassland and a grassfire starts, stay where you are grassfires are unlikely to spread into built up areas. Never drive if you can s...ee smoke or fire. Thick smoke will make it hard to see and traffic jams and accidents are likely. Please Keep the roads clear for emergency vehicles. See more

14.01.2022 Decades have passed since the Armistice that ended World War 1, The War to end all Wars. Since that time, conflicts have continued to rage around the globe, but we still hold fast to the idea that peace is possible, and we continue to work towards that goal. Remembrance Day in Australia commemorates the noble sacrifices of armed forces and civilians during times of war. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, one minute of silence is observed across the country to mark the cessation of hostilities on the Western front during WW1 after over four years of gruesome warfare.
