Get fire ready Open day at lovely banks

16/10/2026

On monday night our Tanker took part in a grassfire training exercise with Bannockburn CFA.
This gave our crew members valuable practice in dealing with fast-moving grassfires. We covered direct fire attack, fence and gate cutting, truck manoeuvring and re-filling. Many thanks to Bannockburn for including us.

🔥 Putting our skills into practice!

Members had the opportunity to work with live fire conditions in a controlled training environment, practising their hose work, water application, BA, teamwork while experiencing the heat and intensity of a fire.

Training exercises like these help build confidence, strengthen our skills and prepare us for the challenges we may face when responding to real incidents. It’s about learning, working together and ensuring we’re ready when our community needs us most.

Huge shout out to Stonehaven CFA for these amazing experiences for all members.

On Tuesday night, members from Lovely Banks CFA headed out to Stonehaven CFA to utilise their training prop for a valuable and hands-on training session.

This was the perfect opportunity for our members to focus on tanker turnout procedures and put their skills into practice in a realistic training environment, helping prepare us for situations we may face on the fireground.

Practical training like this is essential in building confidence, strengthening teamwork and ensuring our members are ready to respond when our community needs us most.

Big thank you to everyone who showed up and was apart of it.

🌟 Tonight is the night!

🕑 Clocks will move forward one hour at 2 am to kick off daylight saving time.

We know most devices automatically adjust but some clocks, like those in your kitchen appliances, wall clocks, or car, may need to be manually changed.

While you're at it, be sure to check your smoke alarm batteries. To do this, press and hold the test button until the smoke alarm beeps three times.

If your alarm doesn’t beep three times, it needs new batteries or replacement.

🌧️ **How much rain have you had today?** ☔

We're keen to hear from communities across the region! Let us know your rainfall totals in the comments and share your photos from around your town. 📸

Here in Geelong, we've recorded 21mm since 9am and the rain is still falling! 🌧️

⚠️ A strong reminder: if the road is flooded, forget it. Never drive, ride or walk through floodwater. Just 15cm of moving water can sweep a person off their feet, and floodwater can hide road damage, debris and other hazards. No destination is worth risking your life for.

With more rain expected today, we're asking everyone to stay vigilant, particularly those in warning areas.

🚗 And while you're out on the roads, turn your headlights on. Wet weather can reduce visibility quickly, so make sure you're seen and stay safe.

🆘 Need SES assistance? Call 132 500

📱 Stay up to date with the latest warnings via VicEmergency or the VicEmergency app.

👇 Tell us:
💧 How much rain have you had?
📍 Where are you?
📸 Got any photos to share?

On International Day of Older Persons, we're recognising the older CFA volunteers who share their knowledge, guide future generations and help keep communities safe. 🤝

We spoke to some members from the Wyndham Vale brigade and learnt that when every generation has a seat at the table, our brigades are stronger for it.

❤️🚒 A Current Affair – Ada & Norm 🚒❤️ behind the scenes…

On Tuesday 15 September, we were incredibly proud to welcome A Current Affair to the brigade as they came along to film a special story featuring two very special members of our CFA family — Ada and Norm.

Ada and Norm are an incredible part of our brigade and have dedicated so much of their time, energy and heart to supporting our community and our members.

As our Captain so perfectly put it, “the backbone of the brigade.” ❤️

We couldn’t be prouder of these two and everything they represent — commitment, community, friendship and a lifetime of service.

It was a wonderful opportunity to shine a light on Ada and Norm and the important role they have played within our brigade over the years.

A huge thank you to A Current Affair for taking the time to share their story. We can’t wait for everyone to see it! 🚒❤️

Tune into A Current Affair tonight for the story!

🚒 On Thursday the 11th, a few of our members took the truck down to Happy Hippo to visit the 4-year-old kinder kids.

The kids absolutely loved the visit and had a great time seeing the truck up close, learning about what we do, and chatting with our crew. Seeing the smiles and excitement on their faces made it all worthwhile for our members. ❤️

Thank you to Happy Hippo for having us — we always enjoy being part of our local community! 🚒👩‍🚒👨‍🚒
