22.01.2022 Sunday Duty Officer Report: Three calls this week. Two alarm calls one of which was a primary the other a support thankfully both were a false alarm.... The other call was for a smoke sighting that turned out to be an unreported burn off.

21.01.2022 To make sure your barbecue is safe: * If a fire occurs, don’t try to extinguish the flames if it is not safe to do so. Call Triple Zero and turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder, but only if you can do so safely. * Do not use barbecues in windy conditions as the burners may blow out, risking a gas leak. * Check the LP gas cylinder on your barbecue before you turn it on. A cylinder must not be refilled if it hasn’t been tested for more than 10 years or if the cylinder has ...been damaged. * Have your gas cylinder tested and ensure you use a licensed gasfitter. * You can exchange LP gas cylinders at a reputable supplier. * Check the hose to make sure it has not deteriorated. * Check the connections to make sure they are tight and that the O rings are in good condition and have not cracked or split. * Use your barbecue in a clear space. Never use it indoors or in a confined area and ensure there is adequate clearance from walls, fences, and other property. * Cook with barbecue utensils and wear an apron to protect yourself from hot fat. * Remove excess fat from the barbecue after each use to prevent fires.

14.01.2022 Sunday Duty Officer report. Thankfully another slow week again this week, the brigade responded to only one job and also one assist through unofficial channels. The job was a rescue and the one of our members cut of a ring for a very thankful resident.... The photo was taking before covid, way back when we opened our current station.

07.01.2022 Today, the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC released its seasonal outlook for December to February. Average to above average rainfall during spring, combined wi...th an outlook of above average rainfall for much of Victoria, indicates we will experience a less severe bushfire season this summer but an increased risk of grass fire. Here’s what Victoria’s fire agencies say this means for fire risk. Fire Rescue Victoria | Forest Fire Management Victoria

06.01.2022 Earlier this evening the brigade was responded through unofficial channels to a resident trapped, she was able to get to the station where she was met by one of our members who was successful in freeing her. Now luckily she was only trapped in the ring not the relationship. The finger is fine although the same can’t be said about the ring.

05.01.2022 Plan for your animals this fire season, attend a free zoom meeting for more information.
