23.01.2022 With the Fire Danger Period fast approaching, our Brigade will commence face to face training over the next few weeks (under strict guidelines approved by the Chief Health Officer) to complete our pre-summer skills maintenance drills The entrapment, or burn over, drill is part of CFA’s required training and is mandatory for all firefighters before they can respond to bushfires during summer, due to the fact that sudden changes in fire intensity and direction can be life-threatening to firefighters. Practicing how to move to the truck and use it for shelter is critical for the safety of crew. Our firefighters are excited to get back into the swing of practical training, and being prepared to help in times of need

To give people interested the opportunity to be able to complete the required training in time for the... summer period when their skills are really needed we have decided to kick off our 2020 recruitment campaign as of now with online information sessions and interviews.

09.01.2022 It has been one year today since the start of the devastating bushfires that ravaged Victorian communities for most of Summer. On 21 November, 2019 the first ‘code red’ fire danger rating in almost a decade was declared in the Mallee and Northern Country, while dry lightning strikes in East Gippsland started three fires which grew to a widespread bushfire disaster that burned for months. Today we, with our CFA comrades, reflect on the devastation and challenges that followed ...21 November and the incredible support from all emergency services who came together to aid the communities impacted by the unprecedented fire season. We are proud of our members who took time away from their families, their workplaces, and their community, to assist their fellow Victorians in some of their darkest times.
