There’s something pretty special about hearing the story of our brigade told through a song. 🚒🔥

From the fires and floods, the memories and moments that have shaped Coopernook RFS, it’s a piece of OUR history captured in music.

Proud to be able to share our story with others. ❤️‍🔥 it’s a long one.

Monthly training with our newcomers means dusting off the fundamentals... Yet our new recruits aced it, even outdoing the veterans in timed challenges.

Some mums pass down recipes… mine passed down a fire helmet. 🚒🔥
Mother-daughter bonding looks a little different around here… smoke, sirens and firelines. 🔥
Forever grateful to stand beside my mum, serving our community and sharing something so special together. Happy Mother’s Day to my Mum and all the incredible mums / step mums out there - today we celebrate you.

Today, we honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who have served—and those who continue to serve our country.

On ANZAC Day, we reflect on the spirit of mateship, bravery, and community that continues to guide us.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Lest we forget.

Proud to share ANZAC Day service details across our region, thanks to our local RSL sub-branches.

I encourage our community to come together, attend a service, and honour those who served.

Lest we forget.
