A Bit of History about the Lockwood Fire Brigade


The Lockwood Township was gazetted for approval on 12th July 1853. Lockwood is 14km south of Bendigo, near the road intersect of the Bendigo / Maryborough Rd and Calder Alternative Hwy. Lockwood South Rural Fire Brigade was established in 1950. The initial brigade response appliance was the Isuzu 3.4D tanker. In April 1998, a motion was passed at a brigade meeting to change the name from ‘Lockwood South Rural Fire Brigade’ to ‘Lockwood Fire Brigade’. Lockwood Fire Brigade received a grant in 2002 from the City of Greater Bendigo for a BBQ trailer which has since been a great asset to the community and fundraising efforts of the brigade. By 2004, with many sausages being cooked on the brigade’s new BBQ trailer, great support and generous donations from the local community, Lockwood Fire Brigade was able to purchase a new Ford Courier Ute. This new appliance became known as the Lockwood Support unit and was welcomed as a very useful asset for the community. It was late 2004 that building begun on the new and current station at Crusoe Road which was completed in 2005. In 2010 we traded in our Isuzu 3.4D for a brand new Dual Cab Hino 3.4C Heavy Tanker known as Lockwood Tanker 1, which is still in use today. On the 12th September 2010, Police and Emergency Services Minister Bob Cameron handed over the keys to our new Isuzu 1.2.4D Light Tanker, known as Lockwood Tanker 2.

Going onto local properties to try and make training as realistic as we can while preparing new recruits, Mark and Karen Rogers, for their upcoming General Firefighting course. While we were in the area we checked available water sources for the season ahead.
