21.01.2022 Our brigades are a part of our communities, and as first responders they see the heartbreak and trauma caused by road crashes. Last Labour Day Long weekend, our... brigades responded to more motor vehicle crashes than any other incident. Please drive safely this weekend, for your sake and ours.

19.01.2022 We would like to thank the communities of Gippsland for your patience and understanding while we completed several planned burns over the Easter long weekend. W...e understand that smoke from planned burns may cause concern for some people, but we must take every opportunity to burn while conditions allow, and it is safe to do so. The dry, mild conditions across many parts of Gippsland were ideal for burning. We would also like to thank our agency partners such as the CFA and Parks Victoria for their continued support during the delivery of the planned burning program.

12.01.2022 Most house fires occur at night. Did you know you can't smell smoke when you're asleep? CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria that all smoke alarms should be interconnected, so that when an alarm activates all alarms will sound no matter where the fire starts. #SilenceIsDeadly

12.01.2022 Today marks one year since the final major fire of the 2019/20 season was declared contained. Parts of the state are still rebuilding, and we continue to be amazed by the dedication and resilience shown by our communities throughout the season and beyond. Sarsfield, one year ago today

Saturday 6 March Letterbox Road, 4km north west of Stockdale - 180 hectares Corner Track, 6km south east of Bendoc 548 hectares Sunday 7 March Kenny Road, 8km north west of Nowa Nowa - 1237 hectares These fuel reduction burns are focused on reducing the speed and intensity of bushfires to protect local communities. Under the current public health advice, planned burning is continuing across Victoria. During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we continue to work closely with the Department of Health and Environment Protection Authority to ensure we keep the smoke impacts from planned burning as low as practically possible. Our crews are adhering to appropriate physical distancing and hygiene requirements to ensure we can safely continue our operations across the state.

08.01.2022 We plan and deliver a fuel management program across Gippsland to reduce the risk of bushfire for the community and the environment.

05.01.2022 You may see a bit of smoke around today with FFMV, CFA, HVP & GLaWAC crews undertaking a planned Burn on the Briagolong-Stockdale Rd. Planned burns are underta...ken when the weather conditions are most suitable. After cool summer with fairly consistent rainfalls this is happening a little earlier than normal. We are still in the Fire Danger Period so you'll need to hold off on your own burn off's for a little longer. These planned burns are very important prevention measures for our communities. Agencies take every opportunity available to safely conduct each burn. A new website called Planned Burns Victoria is a great source of information. You can set up a watch zone in your area and receive text message/email at each burn stage. https://plannedburns.ffm.vic.gov.au/search-results Photo souce: FFMV-Middle Rd burn 2020
