25.01.2022 Don’t be a complacent camper! Any plans to visit Victoria's amazing outdoors over New Year's Eve means you need to take extra care when it comes to knowing ...the rules when fire restrictions are in force. During the fire danger period, campfires are not allowed unless you follow certain rules. During a Total Fire Ban they are strictly prohibited. See more

17.01.2022 As another year approaches we encourage you to stay safe whatever you choose to do this New Years Eve. If camping please follow the guidelines below as to camp fire safety and if using a bbq please also check out the fact sheet below. Remember, fire restrictions are still in force and we have a brochure holder outside our station with information on what you Can and Can’t do during the restrictions. See you all next year.

17.01.2022 As of 1am tomorrow morning Restrictions apply. Please ensure all burns are completely extinguished before then. Any burning after that time will require a permit or will result in police prosecution. To apply for a permit see the CFA website or call District HQ on ph. 56241900.

15.01.2022 Yes we know it’s raining and the grass is green but fire restrictions remain in force. By law you must apply for a permit if you wish to burn off. This can be done online using the below link. For any queries or assistance phone our District Office during business hours on 56241900. Www.firepermits.vic.gov.au

14.01.2022 Please have a safe holiday season. If you are travelling please check that roads to your destination are open as we have many fires around Victoria. Also, keep your family safe by downloading the VicEmergency App to keep up to date with any warnings in your area.

13.01.2022 Leongatha South Fire Brigade would like to pass on a heartfelt Thanks to all who donated hay, helped load and with transport. A massive effort this morning loading 5 trucks of rounds and 2 trailers so far of squares. All loaded hay is being transported in conjunction with the Lions Need for Feed hay run to East Gippsland tomorrow. If you see the convoy, give them a wave and toot.

13.01.2022 Everyone who comes to work, whether it be firey, ambo, police, we want to go home at the end of the day, and we don’t want something which would be a minor acc...ident at 40km/h to be a catastrophe at 80km/h, 90km/h or 100km/h. For emergency services workers, the roadside is part of the office. That’s why we’re asking everyone to think about their safety and slow to 40km/h when passing emergency services vehicles.
