Annual Brigade Photo and Pre-Season Catch-up 2026 📸🚒 🍕👩🏻‍🚒

It was a great afternoon bringing the brigade together for our annual brigade group photo and pre-season catch-up with members and their families. It was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect, share a few laughs, and get ready for the season ahead.

Thanks to everyone who came along and shoutout to The Fire Truck Pizzeria for putting on the most delicious food!

🔥 Calling all Quinns Rocks and surrounds locals, past and present! 🔥

​As the Quinns Rocks Bush Fire Brigade approaches our 50th bush fire season, we are searching for history to fill the walls of our station as well as wanting to put together a special commemorative book to capture and celebrate five decades of history, community, and service.

​From our humble beginnings as a hand full of dedicated locals with a fire trailer, to the fully functioning brigade, fleet and purpose built station we are today.
We need your help to fill the gaps and bring our history to life!
If you, your family, or old neighbors have any of the following hidden away, however big or small - we would love to see them!

​Photos: Station events, old appliances/trucks, bushfires, community events, or team pictures over the decades.

​Stories & Memories: Personal anecdotes, memorable call-outs, humorous moments, or memories of early brigade members.

​Merch & Memorabilia: Old uniforms/PPE, patches, badges, event programs, newspaper clippings, or awards.

​Whether it's a digital file or a dusty photo tucked inside a physical album, every piece helps us tell the full story of our brigade and the community that supported us along the way.

​📸 How to share:
Please ensure you contact us directly to make sure your important history safely makes it to us.
Send us a direct message, or email:
[email protected]

If you have physical items you’d like scanned and safely returned, let us know!

​Please share this post to anyone past and present that has moved away or might have memories to share, and feel free to share this post to help spread the word across the local area and beyond!

AGM Awards 2026

As an important part of our AGM, we take the opportunity to recognise the outstanding achievements and dedication of our brigade members over the past year.

We present the Captain’s Award and the Officers’ Award to members who have gone above and beyond in their service to the Brigade.

Captain’s Award - Craig Grantham

Craig is an invaluable member of our brigade, playing a key role in mentoring and training our probationary firefighters whilst also leading and participating in community engagement activities. No task is ever too big or too small, whether assisting with vehicle movements or consistently stepping up as a heavy vehicle driver throughout the busy summer fire season; Craig is always willing to help wherever he’s needed. His commitment and reliability make him a truly deserving recipient of this award.

Officers’ Award - Callum Willsher

Since taking on the role of Equipment Officer, Callum has shown outstanding dedication and commitment to ensuring our brigade remains operationally ready. Through his attention to detail, he has worked tirelessly to keep our appliances, equipment and PPE maintained, organised and in excellent condition. From coordinating servicing and repairs to managing stock levels and ensuring everything is ready when needed, Callum has invested countless hours behind the scenes. His reliability, initiative and pride in his role have made a significant contribution to the brigade, making him a thoroughly deserving recipient of the Officers’ Award.

Congratulations to our award recipients and thank you to every member who continues to serve our community with pride.
