19.01.2022 Leaving your home due to a bushfire is a terrifying prospect. In the heat of the moment it’s a struggle to think clearly, which is why it’s crucial to plan ahea...d. We put the Larsen’s to the test in an evacuation challenge to see how fireproof their plan was. If you haven’t already, make your plan at www.mybushfireplan.wa.gov.au or on the mobile app.

04.01.2022 Were currently assisting Parks and Recreation with a scheduled burn off north of town. Please dont be alarmed, be aware of fire appliances and avoid the area where possible.

04.01.2022 We are here for our community We also like to thank you for your support you provide to us. https://www.facebook.com/1017436634965331/posts/3805598286149138/

04.01.2022 We have a special guest here tomorrow We will drive him around town with some lollies to hand out. Listen out, you will hear us. Please stay in your driveways or on the footpaths.

02.01.2022 Tonights drill we took out UT3.4 out to a local concrete wall dam in Wongan Hills. We ran through the setup and operation of using hard suction lines with drafting water. It was impressive how much easier it was compared to our old 2.4. These are important skills to have to sort out little issues before we need to use them under pressure.

02.01.2022 Be careful out there everyone. We are currently attending Power Lines down on Northam-Pithara rd. Multiple trees down also. Stay updated via emergency.wa.gov.au for incidents and westernpower.com.au/faults-outages/power-outages-map for Power outages.
