24.01.2022 CFA has received a number of calls from community members regarding bonfires to mark the ‘Spark in the Dark’ event this evening. We appreciate those who are tha...nking our frontline workers, but urge you to keep fire safety front of mind. As today’s conditions are windy in some areas we are urging those who wish to participate to not do so by lighting bonfires or using fire pits. If you are choosing to light a candle, please ensure it is monitored by an adult and extinguished properly. You might like to mark the event by using a torch or outside light. Thank you and stay safe.

23.01.2022 We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our community members and brigade supporters for your interest in this years Christmas Tree sales. This is an activity that all brigade members very much look forward to each and every year as it is a great way for us to meet and engage with you, our community. Unfortunately this year we are delayed with announcing what we will be doing in this space as we work with the CFA around guidelines to be able to undertake this... activity in the setting of COVID-19. We hope to have this finalised in the next week or so and will let everyone know ASAP. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Trevor Weston Captain Wyndham Vale Fire Brigade

18.01.2022 We see the impacts of reckless and negligent behaviour every fire season. Today, Assistant Chief Fire Officer - Bernie Fradd joined Victoria Police at the launc...h of #OperationSafeguard - set up to prevent and detect the occurrence of intentional and reckless fires. Take extra care this fire season when lighting recreational fires like campfires, conducting burn-offs or using machinery. Keeping our communities safe from bushfire is a shared responsibility.
