🚒 STATION UPGRADE 🚒

You may have noticed a hive of activity at the station the last weekend of August as we stripped our station bare, as well as temporary fencing going up this week.
After years of hard work by our members, and various stake holders, we are now in the process of having our station future proofed, with the addition of an extra engine bay, an accessible toilet, turn out room with 2x change rooms, a Breathing Apparatus wash facility and a hose drying tower.

Please rest assured that our capacity to respond while these upgrades take place remains unchanged, in the event of an emergency, a big red truck from Miners Rest will respond.

This upgrade is being funded by community donations, a VESEP grant, a CVLX grant, CFA inclusion and diversity fund and CFA.

🚒 April Training 🚒

Last night we had a special visit for our April training night. Thanks to Wendouree Fire Brigade - CFA for the loan of their pumper and Lt. Mitchell for coming out and sharing his knowledge of the appliance.

We headed into BWEZ learning how to get water in and out using both mains supply and feeding it using our tanker.

It was great to get hands on with an appliance we don’t usually use, and to see what it is capable of if the need should arise.

🚒 South Australian Deployment 🚒

On Wednesday February 4, Miners Rest Tanker 1 was deployed on a long haul strike team to the Deep Creek bushfire on SA’s Fleurieu Peninsula as part of Strike Team 1501, alongside other appliances from District 15, and crews from Districts 15,16 & 17.

Two 5 day rotations of 1501 worked alongside crews from the SA CFS and NSW RFS, among others, conducting important blacking out and back burning operations to secure the fire edge, helping result in the fire now being marked as under control.

The first rotation returned by coach on Sunday evening, and the second rotation returned along with the appliances last night.

Once again a massive thanks to our families and workplaces for allowing our members to be away on these deployments and covering for their absences at home.

On return, last night and today, our volunteers and local DMO have washed, restowed and given the vehicles a mechanical check up.

🚒 Operational update 🚒

Like all brigades around the state, we’ve had a busy start to 2026, with multiple strike team deployments to major fires across the state.

We have supplied our tanker, ultralight or crews to fires at:
- Moyreisk (Tanker Strike Team)
- Skipton (Tanker Strike Team x2 & ULT day shift)
- Harcourt (Tanker Strike Team)
- Natimuk (ULT Strike Team- multi day)
- North East Victoria (Crew only)
- Otways Complex (ULT Strike Team- 4x night shift, 3x day shift)
- Lismore (Tanker Strike Team x2)

On top of this already large commitment, our members recommenced training for 2026 last week to keep our skills sharp to help protect our community when you need us most.

During this time, the Miners Rest Fire Brigade would like to thank our families and employers for allowing us to attend these incidents to protect the community, while they’re at home picking up the slack and worrying until we return.

It’s also worth noting, thanks to our local DMO’s, during our deployments, we’ve had a spare tanker in our station to ensure we’ve been able to cover our local community in case of emergency.

Good Evening Everyone

We want to share a very important message with you all.

Tomorrow Friday 9th Jan is going to be a very bad day for fires in Victoria. All regions surrounding us will see CATASTROPHIC Fire conditions which means if any fires start they will be extremely UNPREDICTABLE and DANGEROUS. We are only 1 number away from moving from EXTREME Fire Danger to CATASTROPHIC 🔥🔥🔥

NOW is the time to enact your fire plan. Leaving early is the only option. It is too late to start preparing your home for bushfires. Please ensure you have downloaded the Vic Emergency App and monitor conditions. Make sure you check multiple information sources for up to date and accurate information. Listen to your local emergency broadcaster for updates. Ensure you have phones charged as you may lose power tomorrow.

Fires will take hold and become out of control very fast and you may not get any messaging to say there is a fire near you. Resources will be stretched which means you may not see a fire truck 🚒 if you call for one.

We cant emphasise enough, tomorrow is VERY SERIOUS. Please tell your family and friends how serious tomorrow will be. Lookout for your neighbours. If you live in a bushfire prone area, please be safe and leave early. Consider going somewhere safer TONIGHT.

Please stay cool and hydrated and look after your family and pets.

Please do not message us via this platform, as this page is not monitored.

Please stay safe everyone.
