21.01.2022 On the eighth day of Christmas, CFA said to me... Even Santa has a fire plan that includes his reindeer and so should you if you have animals on your property! Being prepared will help minimise stress on yourself and your animals if there was to be an emergency this summer.

21.01.2022 Hello everyone, We trust you made it through Christmas safe and well but with a massive food overload. The weather today is particularly windy and hot. These conditions cause fires to be harder to control.... Today is a very high fire danger rating for our area.

20.01.2022 We assisted our good friends and neighbours Langwarrin Fire Brigade (CFA) with this stove fire last night. A timely reminder to practice good kitchen safety in your home. https://www.facebook.com/218273864865814/posts/3860832743943223/

19.01.2022 With the hot days that we are expecting, we need to be aware of everyone around us

17.01.2022 Recently our Fire Fighters attended a single vehicle accident, involving a vehicle rolling over on it's roof. The caller had told 000 that one occupant was trapped. Skye Fire Brigade arrived onscene first to find both occupants were out of the vehicle. Ambulance and Police arrived a short time later. Ambulance attended to the two occupants. It's a timely reminder to take extra care on the roads, especially at this time of year.

16.01.2022 As we all like to get away this time of year, here are a couple of hints to make it safe.

16.01.2022 The brigade has experience a reasonably busy week this week. One of the calls this week was to assist our friends at Ambulance Victoria with access to an injured patient in the Pines Flora and Fauna reserve. CFA is about more than just fighting fires. We are often called to unusual/unique calls for assistance or to support our partner emergency services agencies.

13.01.2022 Today is thank a first responder day. If you see one out an about today, give them a toot, a wave, a smile or even saying thanks.

Today we thank our emergency services partners for the work that they do.

11.01.2022 On Saturday 21/11/2020 our brigade was responded to a large disel spill along the Westernport Highway at Ballarto Road Skye.

And enjoy your day safely however you choose. See more
