Chirnside Park Fire Brigade - CFA

04/09/2026

A big thank you to GAMR for allowing us to use their venue for our Search & Rescue training last week.

It was a great opportunity for our members to train in a different environment and put their skills into practice.

Thanks also to Bayswater Fire Brigade-CFA for coming along and joining us for the night. We really appreciate the support! 🚒

Last night, Scoresby Fire Brigade CFA brought their Hose Layer out to our training night to give our members an overview of the vehicle, its capabilities, and how it can assist at incidents.

It was a great opportunity to learn more about when and how the Scoresby Hose Layer can be utilised, and the support it can provide at larger or more complex jobs.

A huge thank you to the members of Scoresby Fire Brigade for taking the time to come out and share their knowledge with us. 🚒👏

🚨Thank you!🚨

A huge thank you to Bunnings Croydon (Chirnside Park) for their very generous donation of a Starlink Mini to Chirnside Park Fire Brigade.

This will provide our crews with reliable phone and internet connectivity whilst deployed on strike teams and major incidents.

During our most recent strike team deployment, we had no network coverage at all, which meant we were unable to access mapping on our tablets and communications were significantly impacted.

Reliable satellite connectivity will be a major operational and safety improvement for our members when working in remote areas and challenging conditions.

We greatly appreciate the ongoing support from Bunnings Croydon and their commitment to supporting local emergency services and volunteers.

🚒 A Victorian First at Rolling Hills Primary School 🚒

Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting the Prep students at Rolling Hills Primary School to deliver the brand-new Fire Wise Kids program — and we’re proud to say Chirnside Park Fire Brigade was the first brigade in Victoria to deliver it.

The program is all about helping young kids learn simple but important fire safety messages in a fun, engaging way. Judging by the smiles, laughter and all the questions, the Preps absolutely loved it!

Teaching children how to stay safe around fire and what to do in an emergency is a huge part of what we do in the community, and it was fantastic to see the students so involved.

Thanks to the staff and students at Rolling Hills Primary School for having us — we had a great time and look forward to visiting again.

If your local kindergarten or primary school would like us to run the Fire Wise Kids program, feel free to get in touch with the brigade.

🔥 Feel free to share to help spread these important fire safety messages.
