🎄 A quick reminder to check your emails!

We’ve recently sent out an email to members with surveys covering our upcoming Christmas party and a few other brigade matters.

We’d love to hear from as many members as possible, so please take a few minutes to check your inbox and complete the surveys BEFORE 16th October.

Your feedback helps us make decisions that reflect what our members want and ensures everyone’s voice is heard.

Thanks, everyone! 🚒❤️

🔥🚒 TRAINING NIGHT! 🚒🔥

We got hands-on with the PyroShot hand-held launcher and launched Dragon Egg ignition spheres, along with some truck familiarisation. 💥🚒

We also had a great fire weather update from the Bushfire Mitigation Team and some excellent insight into the fire season ahead! ☀️🔥

👏 Big shout-out to everyone who has been consistently turning up for our multiple fire calls lately. Your commitment doesn’t go unnoticed!

💛🚒 YELLOW RIBBON DAY! 🚒💛

Wednesday 16th September is Yellow Ribbon Day — a day to recognise and show our support for the incredible volunteers who wear the yellow coat and ride the yellow trucks. 💛

Behind every yellow truck is a team of people who give up their time to train, respond, prepare, educate and support their communities — often when everyone else is heading the other way. 🔥🌿

From early mornings to late nights, weekends, call-outs and countless hours behind the scenes, our volunteers are there when their communities need them.

To our own Round Mountain Rural Fire Brigade members — thank you for everything you do for our community. We’re proud to be part of the yellow family. 🚒💛

Wear yellow. Show your support. Back our volunteers.

💛🚒 YELLOW RIBBON DAY — TOMORROW! 🚒💛

Tomorrow we wear yellow to recognise and support the amazing volunteers who give their time to protect and support our communities. 💛

A little yellow goes a long way — wear it, share it and show your support! 🚒💛
