The rain has been falling and the grass is growing 🌱 If you have a fire plug located on your nature strip, next time you get the mower out please clear the grass around it 🙏🏼

The brigade uses these plugs to access water in an emergency 💦🔥You can see below how tricky they are to locate once the grass takes over.

Community Support in Action-Thank you 🚜Cobden CFA would like to sincerely thank Sam from Monk & Son Ag for a generous donation that has allowed us to purchase important maintenance tools for our firefighting equipment. These tools were proudly purchased locally from Cobden Tools and Trailers, supporting another great local business in our community. Donations like this take the pressure off and allow our volunteers to focus on what matters most-training, equipment repairs and ongoing maintenance so we are always ready to respond and help keep our community safe. We are incredibly grateful for the support of local businesses who continue to back their local brigade. Thanks you Sam and Monk & Son Ag for supporting Cobden CFA and our community.
