24.01.2022 It’s been a tough few months here in Victoria, especially in Melbourne and if any year needs some early Christmas cheer, it really is 2020! So as our little wa...y spread some early Christmas cheer, we got together with our friends at FRV, VicPol, AV, SES, & FFMV. We work as one, and we make flashy light Christmas videos as one! We hope you all enjoy our video, have a smile and then have yourselves a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! Starring: CFA (Country Fire Authority), Fire Rescue Victoria, Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, Victoria State Emergency Service and Forest Fire Management Victoria. Created by CFA Member Adam Kamenek. A special thanks to Simon VDV, FRV Station 84 (B shift), South Warrandyte CFA as well as all the other emergency service members that came along (COVID safe of course) and helped film on the night.

21.01.2022 Do you know the difference between a Total Fire Ban and the Fire Danger Period? There are different restrictions that apply in the open air on days of Total Fi...re Ban and during the Fire Danger Period. Understand the difference between the two to avoid penalties. www.cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/can

21.01.2022 Victoria is going to implement the first step towards the new national warning system from today. In support of the new national warning system Victoria will ad...opt the new national icons set from December 2, 2020. The Australian Warning System is a new national approach to information and warnings during five natural disasters - bushfire, flood, extreme heat, cyclones and severe weather. Until now, we have seen variations in how agencies across Australia issue warnings to their communities. The VicEmergency website will be updated with the new iconography on December 2, with the VicEmergency app updated shortly afterwards.

11.01.2022 There wouldn’t be many members of the community that are not feeling heartbreak at this time, with the loss of a beloved police officer and great man, Leading S...enior Constable Dennis Cox. We extend our love, strength and support to immediate family and friends of Dennis, as well as extended friends, community clubs, work colleagues, community members, businesses and acquaintances - near and far - a vast network that Dennis was an integral, valued and special part of. There is a special reason people gravitate towards, stay and serve small communities. You’re never alone, and just like in good times, hardship can be shared and supported. It’s very touching to see the love and support that the community packs and rallies around each other during difficult times. We are thinking of each and every one of you. Rest In Peace Dennis. A Go Fund Me campaign has been set up to support Dennis’ wife Selina and children Shauna, Hannah and Jacob. If any patients or friends of CMO wish to donate, we’d be extremely grateful.

02.01.2022 Today marks 40 years since five young lives were tragically lost battling a bush fire at Waterfall. It was 3rd November 1980 - just before 5am crews were aler...ted to a bush fire burning near McKell Avenue. Numerous brigades responded to the southern end of the Royal National Park, working to contain a large fire which was burning under mild conditions. The conditions on the day were cool, the temperature reached 19c, humidity was low and southerly winds prevailed. As the southerly winds increased in strength late afternoon, the fire transitioned from the forested area into heath, increasing the intensity and spread. The fire rapidly headed in a northerly direction towards the Uloola trail. It was on this trail where a fire tanker from Headquarters (Heathcote) Brigade was overrun by fire. It was at this location where five brave firefighters were lost - Steve Crunkhorn, 26, Gregory Rolfe, 24, Vernon Stedman, 21, William Cummings, 21 and David Marshall, 19. The fire was contained days later after burning 2,246 hectares of the Royal National Park. We remember these brave firefighters.

02.01.2022 The Funeral service for Brigade member DR Noel King will be held on Tuesday 15th Dec 10:30am at the Grain Shed, Church of Christ Swan Hill.

01.01.2022 Join Captain Koala as he talks through some of the ways bushfires can start during the fire season and how we can help prevent them

01.01.2022 Never leave a campfire unattended. Always apply the, cool to touch, safe to leave rule. Never leave your camp fire to self-extinguish. Too often our members a...re called out to reports of a fire only to find a campfire burning or smouldering and no one around. Put your fire out properly using water, not soil, even if you are going for a short walk or swim. https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/can See more
