Bayswater Fire Brigade-CFA

🌳🌱 Community, Environment & Teamwork

Yesterday, some of our firefighters and juniors from Bayswater Fire Brigade-CFA headed down to assist First Friends of Dandenong Creek and Knox City Council with some tree planting along Dandenong Creek. 🌿

It was fantastic to be joined by around 70 people for World Environment Day, with the team planting over 3,000 indigenous plants along the creek. 🌱🌏

We love being involved in activities within our local community and showing our support for projects that will benefit the environment for years to come. It will be exciting to visit the area in the future and see how it has grown and developed.

👏 A huge thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to such a worthwhile project.

Many hands make light work. 🤝🌱

🍔❤️ Thank You, Grill'd Croydon! ❤️🚒

The members of Bayswater CFA would like to extend a sincere thank you to Grill'd and everyone who supported us through the Local Matters community program.

We are incredibly grateful to have been selected as a recipient of a donation through the Local Matters jars. Community initiatives like this make a real difference to volunteer emergency services and help us continue serving our local community.

The funds received will be put towards essential equipment, training resources, and station projects that help ensure our brigade remains prepared to respond when needed.

A huge thank you also goes out to the local community who chose to place their token in the Bayswater Fire Brigade-CFA jar. Your support means a great deal to our members and directly contributes to improving the resources we have available to protect our community.

From all of us at Bayswater CFA , thank you for backing your local volunteers and helping us make a difference.

⚠️ Smoke is expected to be seen in parts of eastern Melbourne, the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Ranges today due to private burn‑offs and planned burns in the area.

The current warm and calm weather has made for great conditions for planned burns to be conducted by CFA and Forest Fire Management Victoria to lower fuel loads statewide and for landholders to conduct private burn-offs to prepare their properties - all to help make bushfires easier to control.

If you’re planning to burn off, make sure to register it at firepermits.vic.gov.au
