24.01.2022 Yallourn Norths new Rehab Unit vehicle will soon be responding to larger incidents in our area. The unit assists in monitoring the health of firefighters and assisting us to recover more quickly from the physical exertion of fighting fires. Oh, and it has chips and lollies!!!

24.01.2022 If your children saw someone like this, breathing like Darth Vader as they moved through the smoke, would they hide under the covers, under the bed or in a ward...robe, or would they run into their arms? If you dont have a home fire plan and escape route worked out and practised with the whole family, scared children too often hide when smoke detectors are going off, the house is filling up with smoke and aliens in space suits are approaching. This makes rescue much harder. Make sure you have working smoke alarms and a well rehearsed Escape Plan.

23.01.2022 This evening Lt Steve put Lt Liam through his paces for running the pump on our Tanker ahead of his assessment for Advanced Pumps. FF Rowan helped out by manning a line for him. We train in all weather because we protect and serve our community in any weather.

23.01.2022 Last nights training was Breathing Apparatus competency. That means empty BA cyclinders so a trip to Traralgon Fire Brigade for a refill was in order. This is just another example of how staff firefighters support volunteers in our service delivery. #weworkasone

18.01.2022 Last night’s training focussed on pumping. We did a two person Marshall drill that involved the pump operator: - running an attack line (2 lengths of 38mm hose) - providing water to the branch operator from the first aid tank... - setting a hydrant and running two 64mm lines into the pumper - changing over from the first aid tank to the static water supply - donning BA and taking over the attack line It was a great opportunity to practice under pressure and learn some simple steps to do things more efficiently.

16.01.2022 When people think of firefighters saving lives they think of us in a fire truck. Well today we are saving lives without our fire trucks. - CFA Chief Officer This morning two of our firefighters are participating in the Melbourne Firefighters Stairclimb. They are stepping up to combat PTSD, depression and suicide. Mental health is a huge issue in our community generally and within the emergency services. But there is support out there, the funds raised today go to supportin...g the Black Dog Institute and Lifeline. Its ok not to be ok. Talk to a friend or seek help from professionals, you dont have to do it alone.

14.01.2022 Moe assisted other brigades with a grass and scrub fire in Tanjil South this afternoon.

13.01.2022 Last nights training involved locating an item on the truck in the dark and bringing it back to the group. The item was then passed to the person on the right who had to explain what it was, what it is used for and where it lives on the truck. Trickiest question of the night was whether that was a collecting or dividing Y ...

13.01.2022 The 000 Emergency line is experiencing technical issues. However, Victorian should continue to call 000 if you need to in an emergency. If you cannot get through the first time we will make every attempt to call you back.

12.01.2022 After successful trials of night air attack firefighting operations last season, Gippsland will be a focus of attention with approval provided for night aircraf...t operations. This is an enhancement to our PDD protocols during the day which automatically responds firefighting air attack aircraft on fire danger trigger days as our trucks are responding. This bushfire season we will be responding day and night on the ground and in the air. Protecting the community is a team effort and we will be well prepared this summer.

09.01.2022 Today the brigade hosted grade 1 & 2 students from Moe South Street Primary School. They are touring the town to learn about their community. Great opportunity to impart some fire safety tips and talk about the value of contributing to your community. I think they may also have enjoyed climbing in the truck.

07.01.2022 SIGHTSEERS DELAY FIRE TRUCKS Last night fire trucks responding to a fire in Moe were delayed by members of the public attempting to sight see, including by driving down the narrow street that was the only access to the fire. Driving around trying to see fires, especially as the initial trucks are responding, not only slows down emergency vehicles responding to incidents but it also puts our members and members of the public in increased danger of accidents. ... Fires are not spectator sports.

06.01.2022 Today, International Firefighters Day, we pay respect to all firefighters who sadly lost their lives in the line of duty, including the 79 CFA firefighters. Today, we also show gratitude to those who selflessly protect the life and property of Victorians everyday of the year .^SW

05.01.2022 Last night the brigade responded to a house fire on the outskirts of town. The house was fully involved on arrival with no one home. Hollie, the resident pig, kept a watchful eye on the firefighters including monitoring members food intake. It was the brigades second house fire this week. As we come into winter it is important to focus on home fire safety.

03.01.2022 Last night the brigade responded to a fire at the old Chinese Dragon Cafe. Once again a member of the public has cut in front of a fire fighting vehicle responding to the fire. That person has then proceeded to turn into the street where our members were standing on the road preparing to fight the fire. Finally they pulled in opposite the fire, got out and started to film the fire. This has to stop! Fires are not spectator sports. ... This person endangered the safety of our crews not once but twice and delayed the firefighting response. See more
