24.01.2022 Come along and have a chat and a sausage. Looking for new members to join our small but Great Group.

22.01.2022 Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) has declared a statewide fire permit period starting at 2am this Friday 4 December until the end of bushfire season. To obtain a free permit contact your local brigade or call TFS on 1800 000 699 to make the arrangements. While the fire permit period is in place the following will apply:... People intending to light a fire for burning vegetation or a similar purpose must obtain a permit. People intending to light a fire at a sawmill or factory for burning wood waste or other flammable material must obtain a permit. People intending to light a fire for cooking, warmth or disposal of garden waste do not require a permit provided that: o the fire is not lit in peat, humus, or marram grass o the fire is always attended by a responsible adult until it is extinguished. o all flammable material is removed down to bare earth at least three metres radius around the fire o it is less than one cubic metre in size NOTE: some Local Government authorities prohibit backyard burning in residential areas. If wanting a permit please plan ahead as Permit officers are volunteers and may not be able to visit you to issue a permit for a few days.

16.01.2022 Please stay safe and be aware of your surroundings when burning off.

14.01.2022 Permits not required from 02:00 Thursday. Please still register your burn with Tas Fire

13.01.2022 Just a heads up for people planning doing a burn. Be aware of local vineyards. They are doing it tough with the hospitality industry shutting down and last thing they need is lots of burns ruining their crops so close to harvest.

10.01.2022 We've teamed up with the Scottsdale Art Gallery Cafe to help distribute our remaining copies of our book "Always Ready." The attached flyer can be found at the ...Cafe and you'll be able to collect your copy from them as well; we're also still happy to take orders from the public if you'd prefer to message our Facebook page directly, or email us at [email protected] "Always Ready" begins in 1898 with the first water scheme and covers early fires such as Williams Mill and the bushfires of 1936, all the way through to the 75th anniversary of the Brigade's founding when the book was written. Also covered is the competition era and Brigade membership over the years along with a comprehensive appendix of fire calls, competition results and members. Progress is continuing with regards to our centenary celebrations later this year, we'll be posting more information as it becomes available!
