18.01.2022 Here is a unique opportunity to purchase a superbly maintained and presented low km vehicle with some unique history and enhanced specifications. This vehicle was owned by Warrandyte Fire Brigade - a volunteer CFA brigade - and was originally purchased through generous community fundraising and donations for use as a Field Command Vehicle - also known as a CFA Strike Team Leader vehicle. The vehicle is being sold as part of the brigade's planned vehicle replacement progra...m with all proceeds of the sale being returned to the brigade to fund brigade activities and equipment purchases. The present configuration of the vehicle is ideal for travellers and adventurers or those wanting to break the COVID shackles and discover Australia.

06.01.2022 Last week, our volunteers were presented with an amazing donation from Anderson's Creek Primary School. Two students raised funds by making badges and selling them to the school community, raising almost $500!!! We are incredibly grateful to these students and everyone at ACPS for recognising the efforts of each of our volunteers down at the brigade. Not only does the donation make a significant impact, it just melts our hearts that these children have taken their own perso...nal time to make a real difference in our community. Thank you Andersons Creek Primary School! . . . . Note: CFA Volunteers attending ACPS followed COVID safety measures of both the brigade and the school. No Community Safety Engagement activities were delivered while accepting this generous donation.
