25.01.2022 A friendly reminder especially being the fire season please make sure we have plenty of room to make it down your driveways. Your home and life’s may depend on it. Our bigger trucks need 3m hight and 3m wide to safely get in.

25.01.2022 There is currently a haystack fire on Glenrowan Moyhu road that is under control with crews on scene with the fire. It is putting up a lot of smoke and will be for some time to come.

24.01.2022 It’s that time of year again with daylight savings it is always a good idea to Test, Clean, or Replace your smoke alarm if more than 10 years old. Your smoke alarm could be the only thing to alert your family to a fire in your home. Read more here www.cfa.vic.gov.au/smokealarms

22.01.2022 Change Your Clock, Check Your Smoke Alarm! When was the last time you checked your smoke alarm? All Smoke Alarms should be replaced after 10 years.... Using a lithium Battery Powered smoke alarm, means you want have to change the battery each year for the life of the alarm. Maintaining your smoke alarm is your first line of defence to keep you and your loved ones safe. Clean and Check regularly.
