Your Bushfire Plan can help you make important decisions before you could be threatened by a bushfire.  Being prepared can make it less stressful and may reduce the impact. It could save your life and the lives of those you love and care for.

Today is not Star Wars day! Although at we do love Star Wars because most of the Brigade saw the original in 1977!
It’s St Florian’s Day, the patron saint of firefighters - International Firefighters day. From the smallest Brigades to the largest in the world - being Tokyo Fire Department, firefighters work everyday to keep their communities safe.
We are all proud of what we do - noting autumn will continue to be dry with average bushfire risk.
Remember May 4th - not Star Wars Day. International Firefighters Day.
