22.01.2022 Yarra Glen Fire Brigade are saddened with the recent passing of John Sutton - known to many as Sutto. Our thoughts and condolences are with the family. Sutt...o was a very respected and valued member of our Brigade. He was Captain for 14 years, and held many other roles in the brigade including his most recent as Communications Officer. In 2018 Sutto was presented at our annual dinner with a CFA Life Membership for 60 years of continuous service and had a truck named in his honour. Brigade members have been reflecting on Sutto’s input that he has had with the brigade. Individually members are thinking about the support, training, and friendship that Sutto has given them. Members have commented on what they have learned was ‘thanks to Sutto’ . RIP Sutto. We will miss you.

19.01.2022 I have been working with Wayne and Stephen to have a new award for Fire Fighters who have served overseas created. We have met with all sides of politics and wi...ll continue to work with all sides to get this award up. At least when my name was mentioned it didn’t have "shame" on either side of it and I'm now apparently a member of the CFA?

17.01.2022 Tonight our Slip-On and North Warrandyte's Tanker 1 will be on display at this years Mayoral Fireball, with members from all 4 local Brigades in attendance. The...se vehicles have been a direct result of funds raised from the last two Fireball’s. Tonight’s fireball funds will be used to upgrade the Forward Control Vehicle for the South Warrandyte Fire Brigade. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Manningham Council, Fireball Committee and members of the community for their ongoing support and in doing so, enabling our brigades to purchase these wonderful vehicles. Fireball's online auction is happening now and will wrap up at 23:00 this evening. Check out the link below for auction items and happy bidding. https://galabid.com/auction/fireball See more

12.01.2022 A TRIP YOU WON’T FORGET Funerals are confronting, road death and injury are confronting, and, in part, the Teenage Road Information Program (TRIP) is confronti...ng. The combined Knox emergency services CFA, SES, Police and Ambulance will present a hard hitting road program at Wantirna City Life Church on Wednesday night, 7 August. The target audience is 18 to 25-year-olds and their parents. Montrose CFA community safety co-ordinator Marj Taylor is helping co-ordinate the event which requires months of planning. Ms Taylor said although TRIP is primarily aimed at changing teenage driving behaviour, most adults walk away reassessing their own driving behaviour. The program gives an in-depth insight into what happens to road crash victims and the aftermath from injuries and fatalities, Ms Taylor said. It is designed to be a hard-hitting presentation by the very people who attend the crash scene and know first-hand the devastation caused. The program addresses identified risks of alcohol, drugs, speed, inexperience, distraction and peer group pressure and provides information and examples of how to change behaviour. Speakers provide real life personal examples of the short and long term effects of road trauma. Addressing concerns about the graphic nature of the program, Ms Taylor said the program is not about traumatising or scaring young people, but educating and hopefully prompting young people to start a conversation with friends and family members. We’re going to have speakers who have dealt with road trauma firsthand, Ms Taylor said. There will be someone from the Major Collision Unit and also the director of trauma at the Alfred Hospital. There will also be a mother who has been directly affected by road trauma and a magistrate judge. We want to reiterate the decisions you make today can and do influence the rest of your life. The program comes as the road toll is headed for the worst in over a decade. So far, this year 151 people have lost their lives on Victorian roads, with drivers aged between 18 to 25 over represented. The 2019 Knox TRIP will be held on Wednesday, 7 August starting at 7pm at 1248 High Street Road, Wantirna South. Register at Knoxtrip.com. Visit Facebook Knox TRIP for more information. A guardian or parent must company anyone under 18. By Derek Schlennstedt, Mail News Group

09.01.2022 Last night the brigade had the pleasure to host the Parliamentary Secretary for Police and Emergency Services, Paul Edbrooke MP, and our local member Tim Richar...dson MP and an advisor from the Ministers Office, to discuss the brigades future strategic direction in the new paradigm post the implementation of the governments fire services reform program. The open forum provided brigade members with an opportunity to discuss our brigade’s vision for the future and to ask any questions they had of Paul, a fellow firefighter in addition to his important parliamentary role. Brigade Captain Graham Fountain said, It was a pleasure to hear direct from Paul and more importantly to hear him embrace the brigade’s vision for the future structure of the sector, the brigades ongoing position in it, as well as the brigades newly adopted position on defining the future of volunteerism in a more strategic and joined-up manner in support of the State. It was equally important for Paul to hear from the members directly about their ongoing passion and commitment to work in partnership with our community and Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) career staff, as we do successfully on a day-to-day basis now. Paul’s ongoing commitment to the recognition of volunteers as a fundamental part of the state’s emergency management sector and that the CFA (Country Fire Authority) of the future remains a large urban fire and rescue service and not a rural fire service was also comforting for the members to hear. We look forward to welcoming the Minister for Police and Emergency Services Lisa Neville MP to the brigade in the coming weeks to advance these discussions and positive engagement in the reform program.
