Looks like your toys might need rescuing this weekend...🤠⛈️

A strong cold front is expected to sweep across the south west of WA from Friday, bringing widespread showers, possible thunderstorms, heavy rain and gusty winds. Some thunderstorms could become severe with heavy rainfall along the west coast and damaging winds for the south west.

Before your outdoor toys go full Toy Story mode and embark on an adventure of their own, take a few minutes to secure loose items around your home. Think trampolines, outdoor furniture, bins, sporting gear and anything else that could make a sneaky visit to your neighbours’ yard (or roof).

If you're heading out on the road, slow down in wet conditions and never drive through floodwater! Planning on heading out on the water or near the coast? Might be best to rethink it, with large waves and rough seas expected throughout the weekend.

To infinity... and preferably indoors 🚀🏠

Our firies using their brainpower at training ✨ The new bushfire model kit was well received by our crew, as well as a few sneaky choccy frogs. Any other brigades keen to come hang out one evening?

Thanks to everyone who attended, if you see yourself be apart of our awesome crew, feel free to send a message and we would love to discuss volunteering opportunities with you.

You may have seen our previous post about AusAlert, here is some more information about the alert, an example of what you will hear and where to find more information.

Please feel free to reach out to our brigade if you require more information.

AusAlert occurring 🔥

This is one sound you definitely can't ignore! 😲📱

Your phone will vibrate, play a loud siren-like sound and light up with the alert.

Goomalling will be the first location in WA to test AusAlert on 19 June at 12pm, followed by a National Test across Australia on 27 July.

So there's no confusion, this alert is not sent through the Emergency WA app or any other emergency app. AusAlert is a new federal government initiative that forms part of Australia's nationally operated emergency alert system, designed to deliver warnings during serious emergencies.

If the trials are successful, states and territories can opt in to using AusAlert from October, depending on local requirements.

The bushies are fundraising! Thank you to Plantation Logging and our very own firefighter, Matt, for the firewood 🔥

If you'd like to purchase a ticket, reach out to our firies or alternatively, hit us up on Facebook. We can deliver the prize between Benger and Burekup, but self-collecting outside of those areas is an option.

We will draw the prize on the 6th July 2026 and announce the winner on the 7th of July 2026.

Thank you for supporting our brigade ✨

Today is the day to check your smoke alarms at home. Replace batteries as required and if your smoke alarm is over 10 years old, it might be time to grab a new one.
