07.02.2022 ** WE REMEMBER ** Today marks the 13th anniversary of the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria, which were the most devastating in Australia’s history. We take a moment today to remember the 173 people who tragically lost their lives in the disaster. Our thoughts remain with everyone impacted by this horrific event.

22.01.2022 Pearcedale Fire Brigade has been serving our community for a long time, and for the past (almost) 20 years, we have been doing it in our 2001 Isuzu 3.4D single cab Tanker . Although everybody loves our old truck, for safety reasons, it is time to upgrade to a (slightly) newer model. Our members are currently training on our "new" 2005 Hino 3.4C DUAL cab Tanker in order to bring it online in time for the coming summer fire season. The dual cab provides additional safety for ...crew members who will no longer need to travel on the back of the truck, and provides more protection if ever caught in a burnover. Give us a toot or a wave if you see the "new" truck roaming around town #cfavic #newtrucks #Hino

We will remember them." ** Lest we forget **

06.01.2022 Don't drive tired! Fatigue-related accidents can and do happen. Your alertness and reaction time is slower when you are tired. So, please take care on our roads and don't get behind the wheel when you are fatigued. This driver was lucky to escape serious injury when he ran into a power pole this afternoon.

06.01.2022 Everyone in Victoria who lives near dense forest, bush, grassland or the coast needs to prepare their property for bushfire. Below are some tips from Captain Koala on preparing your property: Roof gutters - Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter. Leaf litter in guttering is an ember ignition point. Keep grass short - Keep grass cut to less than 10cm. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass. Mowing and slashing can greatly reduce fine fuel levels.... Leaves and Twigs - Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark. Less fuel = less fire. Prune shrubs -Prune lower branches of shrubs to separate from surface fuels underneath. Prune shrubs well away from branches of mature trees. Cut back branches - Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property no branches in 10m space. For more information on preparing your property please see here: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare #CKDoesSummerPreparation #LessFuelEqualsLessFire #PlanAndPrepare #CleanUpBeforeABushfireDoes #cfavic
