To provide the general public with information relating to Bunbury Bushfire Brigade, including emergencies, hazard reduction and other general information.

Bunbury Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade was established in 1985 by a handful of local gentlemen. They worked hard to establish the Brigade and gain support from the City of Bunbury to recognise and support a Volunteer Fire Brigade movement in the Bunbury area. In these first few years they worked tirelessly conducting hazard reduction burns around the Bunbury and Australind area to gain funds for the Brigade to be able to purchase its own fire fighting appliance. The City of Bunbury Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade is responding to the changing environment. Fire suppression and prevention are strongly linked, and the Brigade works closely with the City of Bunbury Community Law and Safety Department to provide information and advice on fire preparedness and prevention. The Brigade regularly assists the City of Bunbury And DFES Mitigation Dept with hazard reduction in and around the Bunbury area. Fires in a Rural Urban interface environment are becoming more common and the Brigade prides itself on keep its knowledge and skills up to date to help protect the Community and Brigade members in the most effective ways possible.

Meet our newest youngest Brigade Member ‘Tad’, he is 7 weeks old.
He came down to Bunnings on Sunday to meet us all, as Dad was there helping us cook snags for our fundraiser.

We know it’s a little way off, but we look forward to Tad joining our Cadet Program in a few years time. 🌭😄🩵

On Wednesday night this week, we celebrated our Cadets program with our end of year Presentations & Awards.

It’s been another fantastic year with over 20 Cadets participating, learning a whole bunch of new skills from using Fire extinguishers, map reading, first aid to operating the pumps on our fire trucks and using our radios and much more in between.

We had camps and excursions, plenty opportunities to get them all thinking about what Career path might be the right fit for them.

Congratulations to our Award recipients!
Some tough decisions for our Cadet Leaders this year, with every Cadet showing enthusiasm and fantastic skills.

Rising Star Awards were presented to Thomas Ivey & Jessica Burch
Captains Award presented to Beth Hynes-Harvey. Cadet of the Year presented to Asher Thompson

We have 3 Cadets transitioning to Firefighters for the coming Fire Season, having already completed all their training, they are keen to get their boots on.

A big shout out to our Brigade Members who give so much extra of their own time to help train our cadets - our future firefighters. It’s a huge commitment and without them, we would not be able to run this fantastic program.

We look forward to 2027!

This weekend we had 9 Volunteers complete their training to become Volunteer Firefighters.
We welcomed 2 Vollies from Bunbury Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service to complete their training also. Also out of 7 from our Brigade, another 4 Cadets making the move to Firefighters.
Well done to all of the recruits and a special mention to our Instructors and Brigade members that also gave up their weekend to assist and feed everyone.

Last night's Cadets training at our Brigade was a resounding success, perfectly timed to beat the chill with some engaging indoor sessions. The Cadets made impressive strides in mastering our Radio networks, swiftly grasping the use of radios, pro words, phonetic alphabet, call signs, and radio etiquette. They also honed their map reading skills using 6-digit grid referencing, demonstrating quick uptake and adaptability. With these essential skills now in place, our next session promises to be an exciting opportunity to put theory into practice, taking these new abilities out into the field.
