23.01.2022 Monday Night Training There is skill and technique to bowl a 30 metre hose perfectly straight. Hose work is a team effort and an essential part of firefighting.... We practice often and sometimes a friendly competition is held. Here you can see Sandy teaching one of our new recruits, Mel the skill of hand rolling a canvas hose. Keith is in the back ground laying hoses ready to be rolled up. Ever thought about joining our team? Warneet -Blind Bight Fire Brigade welcomes all!

18.01.2022 Taking steps to get prepared before the fire season means you know what to do when you’re at risk. This Fire Action Week, learn about the fire risk where you live and plan ahead. It’s important to prepare your property for fire, but you also need to plan and prepare for your safety. Pack important documents, photos, medications, money and clothes so you can leave easily before a fire starts.... For a list of activities and online events visit vic.gov.au/fireactionweek2020

18.01.2022 Check out our new electric front door! Not only does it look great it is also far more efficient than manually lifting the old steel door.

18.01.2022 Monday Night Training Every Monday night at 7.30 our Brigade volunteers learn and practice skills and techniques to suppress and prevent fire! In this picture you can see that there is a supply hose (red) going into the truck and a delivery hose (white) spraying water in a half fog pattern. This is one of the most common techniques we use in town.... It's a team effort and each person pictured has a vital role. Could you see yourself joining our team/ family?

18.01.2022 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 Ko...ala 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.

07.01.2022 Today, we remember the men and women who selflessly gave their lives serving for our country, as well as those who returned and continue to serve their communities. Lest we forget.

06.01.2022 Are you packing up the ute and heading out bush this weekend? Remember these campfire safety rules:... Campfires must not occupy an area exceeding one square metre Keep three metres all around the campfire clear of flammable material Never leave a campfire unattended Extinguish campfires with water, not soil If it is cool to touch, it is safe to leave
