22.01.2022 Last season's bushfires taught us some terrifying lessons about the importance of being prepared & having a plan. How fireproof is your plan?

22.01.2022 You don’t have to live right near the bush to be at risk. Even if your home is a few streets back, you may be at risk. Can you guess the main reason homes are lost to bush fires? #getreadyweekend

22.01.2022 We had a terrific morning, with a group of kids & parents, at the local park this morning. Got to chat about their plans for the bushfire season ahead & have a bit of fun with the kids. Some that participated in the MOCS Kids Get Ready Quiz, did very well & got to take home some fun goodies. If you would like to chat to us about some of the risks we have in our area & being ready for a bushfire, don't hesitate to contact us or come visit any Saturday afternoon, at our fire station.

18.01.2022 Fact: Your safest option is to leave early. A bush fire can be a terrifying situation, intense heat and flames will make you tire quickly, it will be difficult to see and breathe. You may become confused or disorientated. Powerlines and fallen trees can block roads and make driving dangerous. It’s always better to leave early, before the fire arrives. Visit myfireplan.com.au and make a bush fire survival plan. It will help you make important decisions like when to leave or ...what you need to be prepared to stay. #getreadyweekend

16.01.2022 Tonight's rippa of a storm that raced through our area, has caused a lot of trees to fall into roads, blocking them completely. In some cases tearing down power lines. Our crews, SES & Endeavour Energy crews are working through the night to clean these up & make it safe. If you are going to have to travel tonight or early in the morning, be aware there'll be plenty of debris on the ground which will make conditions slippery for driving. ... Please take extra care to avoid injuring our crews or yourself during this time.

16.01.2022 Fact: Lots of rain means lots of fuel for bush and grass fires. It only takes a few days of hot, dry and windy weather to cure grass and make it flammable. Make a bush fire survival plan so you know what you will do if there’s a bush or grass fire near you. ... Visit myfireplan.com.au #getreadyweekend

15.01.2022 Fact: Bush fires are unpredictable and in dangerous conditions, you may not get an Emergency Alert message in time.

08.01.2022 Happy INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY (IWD) "Why do we celebrate this day internationally?" You may ask. IWD is dedicated to celebrating women’s achievements in the social, economic, cultural, and political spheres....

We acknowledge & celebrate our many women volunteer members & staff, who work tirelessly in service to our communities. Here's to strong, capable women everywhere. #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #womenpower #womenempoweringwomen #march8 #IWD
