23.01.2022 The communique in relation to Brigade Fundraising has been released in the form of Wordback 302 - if you don’t receive wordback through your email ask one of your Brigade mates or Officers for a copy. As suggested in the last post, our association is happy with the outcome and pleased that common sense has prevailed. We won’t publish the wordback here as there are non TFS members on this page.

13.01.2022 NOTICE OF MEETING - North West region AGM and general meeting will be held tomorrow, Wednesday 4th July 2018 at the Ulverstone Fire Station, commencing at 1930h.

10.01.2022 A few things to remember as we head into this long weekend: - if you have a campfire extinguish it properly before you leave the campsite - you cannot have a ca...mpfire in Tasmania's parks and reserves in the North, North-east, East Coast, South East, Upper Derwent Valley and King Island (see Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service) - avoid lighting any type of fire this weekend if you can. The fuels are really dry and with the temps we are expecting fires will be difficult to control - There is a Total Fire Ban in the south for Sunday 28 January. All fires must be extinguished by midnight on Saturday - familiarise yourself with the Community Protection Plans on our website and ensure you have an up to date Bushfire Survival Plan in case a fire threatens your property www.fire.tas.gov.au

10.01.2022 Our association believes this should also be the case here in Tassie, to help protect all emergency service responders.

08.01.2022 Our State President & NW President/SFC Rep. And some other important Tasmanians... Good to see them all together!

05.01.2022 There is a Total Fire Ban in place in the south of the state this Sunday 28 January.

This affects the following municipalities: Brighton Central Highlands Clarence Derwent Valley Glamorgan/Spring Bay Glenorchy Hobart Huon Valley Kingborough Sorell Southern Midlands Tasman

03.01.2022 It's that time of year again! The state AGM and general meeting of the TRVFA will be held in August 2018, on one of the following dates - please select your preferred option ASAP so that the necessary arrangements can be made. Typically this is not an election year for the state executive, however with the recent resignation of our Secretary, Mathew Philpott, there is a need to elect his replacement for the remainder of the term. There will also be discussion about the need f...or and role of an Assistant Secretary moving forward. Elections aside, there are a stack of pressing agenda items to discuss in the realms of governance, training, WHS... something for everyone really! So please make the effort to attend, and encourage your fellow members to come along and see what we're about. Thanks! Laura Smith - Acting Secretary, TRVFA.
