⚠️ Battery Safety⚠️

Last week we received our new Community display signs about Battery safety, which are currently on public display out the front of the fire station.

🔥Our battery safety signs are a timely reminder of how quickly a battery can spark a dangerous fire, with our friends at the Somerville Fire Brigade recently attending a large shed fire caused by batteries. (Have a look on Somerville Fire Brigades FB page to read about this fire)

🔋 Getting Rid of Old Batteries?
Batteries come in many types, shapes and sizes, and should never be thrown out in your regular household bins.

🔋 We have a large collection of different types of batteries, which have been given to the brigade from local residents, to be placed in the brigades battery collection bins for correct disposal, which we do on a regular basis.

✅️Always Charge batteries safely and prevent dangerous fires, by using the original charger that came with the device and always charge on a hard, non-combustible surface.

For more information on battery safety, check out the resources below.

🔥 Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb 2026 🔥

This Saturday, Andrew, Mark and Brad will take on the incredible challenge of the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb. They will be climbing 28 floors at Crown Metropol while wearing around 25kg of firefighting gear and breathing apparatus. 👨‍🚒💪

They’re taking on this challenge to honour the 343 firefighters and emergency services personnel who lost their lives on 9/11, while also raising vital funds for Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, Lifeline and the 000 Foundation.

Every step represents the courage, resilience and commitment shown by emergency services personnel and their families every day. ❤️

It’s certainly not an easy climb, but with the support of our community, we can help make every step count.

❤️ If you’re able to, we’d love your support. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference

💧💧💧This morning the Crib Point Football Netball Club contacted the brigade, to see if we could help with giving the netball courts a bit of a "wash away" of the debris, leaves & grime for the upcoming MPNFL finals on the weekend.

🚒While we were there a group of parents & toddlers came along to the playground at the netball courts. So we also did some adhoc truck time community engagement & spoke with the families about bushfire risk in Crib Point, home fire plans & road access in some areas of Crib Point while we were there.

🏐The netball courts are now gleaming clean & there are some very happy toddlers, who got to have a look at the fire truck on their outing to the playground today.

🙌Was great to meet these families out in our community, some who have just moved here recently & now call Crib Point home.

❤️Welcome to our little town Crib Point & thanks for the chat with our brigade members this morning.
