25.01.2022 Good evening poeple only 1 more sleep till we can announce some BIG new's for the Tea Tree Fire Brigade and Community. Follow this space tomorrow to find out what it is.

23.01.2022 Tasmania Fire Service requests that landholders avoid lighting fires on their properties for at least the next 24 hours due to forecast severe weather condition...s. Fires in these windy conditions will be difficult to control. Fires that have been lit in the past fortnight should be patrolled as the wind increases, even if they are believed to be extinguished.

17.01.2022 Congratulations to Tea Tree Fire Brigade on receiving their new 4.1

17.01.2022 Tasmania Fire Service has declared an end to the fire permit statewide from 2am tomorrow (Thursday 25 March). This means that anyone in Tasmania intending to light a private fuel reduction burn will no longer require a fire permit to do so. Even though permits are no longer required, landowners who plan to light burns on their property should:... be mindful of the weather be prepared with an adequate water supply have access to firefighting equipment be physically capable consult with the owners of neighbouring properties, particularly those with vulerable crops such as vineyards. This update brings the north and south in line with the north west which had the permit period revoked a fortnight ago. At all times burning on private property is governed by local council by-laws which must be adhered to and environmental laws which govern smoke emissions. Property owners planning to burn on their land should visit fire.tas.gov.au for further information. Call 1800 000 699 to register their burn to prevent an unnecessary visit from a local brigade.

14.01.2022 Another quality Tasmanian built medium tanker delivered to another lucky volunteer brigade. The brigade has spent a bit of time this last week completing their... CAFs training courses including today’s practical day and official truck hand over. The majority of the CAFS visible on the quarry face was delivered through a 25mm hose. Small hose, big punch. (25mm hose runs @120-130lpm wet CAFs and @50-60lpm dry CAFs) See more

14.01.2022 Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) has declared a statewide fire permit period starting at 2am this Friday 4 December until the end of bushfire season. To obtain a fre...e permit contact your local brigade or call TFS on 1800 000 699 to make the arrangements. While the fire permit period is in place the following will apply: People intending to light a fire for burning vegetation or a similar purpose must obtain a permit. People intending to light a fire at a sawmill or factory for burning wood waste or other flammable material must obtain a permit. People intending to light a fire for cooking, warmth or disposal of garden waste do not require a permit provided that: o the fire is not lit in peat, humus, or marram grass o the fire is always attended by a responsible adult until it is extinguished. o all flammable material is removed down to bare earth at least three metres radius around the fire o it is less than one cubic metre in size o and it isn't in an area under Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service campfire restrictions.

07.01.2022 Parks & Wildlife Service has advised that restrictions to campfires come into place on 4 December. If you are going away on the boat camping, please make sure you are aware of the restrictions.

07.01.2022 Hazard icons across the country have a new consistent look. The new Australian Warning System introduces several changes to the way the community will be notifi...ed about hazards. We're rolling out the first stage of the changes to the Australian Warning System for bushfire in Tassie today. The changes will include the way bushfire warnings are displayed on the TFS website. From today, consistent colours will be used for: Advice (yellow), Watch and Act (orange); and Emergency Warning (red) The icon shapes will also change on maps from diamonds to triangles. While the colours and icons change, the meanings of the levels do not change. The changes are designed to bring consistency to the way warnings are displayed across Australia. Over time more states will use the new colours and icons and they will be used for other hazards like floods and storms. Further changes will occur in Tasmania in 2021, including enhancements to our warning messages. The Australian Warnings System is based on community research and good practice, in terms of what communities recognise and what gets people to take action during an emergency.
