This weekend Muchea hosted a Firefighting Skills course for some of new members to the local brigades.
It was great to be able to start them on their volunteer journey and we look forward to seeing them out and about during the fire season.

🧡 Today is Thank a First Responder Day 🧡

Today, communities across Australia are coming together to recognise the people who step forward when others need help most.

To every police officer, firefighter, paramedic, emergency services worker, volunteer, dispatcher and first responder family member – thank you.

Thank you for the long shifts, the missed milestones, the sacrifices made behind the scenes, and for showing up when our communities need you most.

Today, schools, workplaces, councils, community groups and individuals are sharing messages of gratitude, lighting landmarks in teal and blue, attending events, and finding their own way to say thank you.

If a first responder has ever made a difference in your life, today is the perfect day to let them know.

💙 Leave a message on the Fortem Australia Gratitude Gallery and help remind first responders that their service, sacrifice and compassion are seen and appreciated.

To every first responder and family member across Australia: today is for you.

Thank our first responders!

Yesterday before the rain set in members from Muchea along with Bindoon joined Lower Chittering on a hazard reduction burn. It was great for the brigades to be able to catch up and for our newer members to work on some skills and add to the hours that are required for them to be signed off.
Thanks Lower Chittering Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade for the invite and Bindoon Bush Fire Brigade.

So we saved the best for the last day of National Volunteer Week.
This month at our AGM Shelly stood down as Captain. This is a position she has held for 10 years and to say we are all grateful for her commitment is an understatement. We wanted to recognise Shelly for all that she has done for the brigade and community and awarded her with Life Membership.
Shelly, Thankyou for all of your support and we are very glad you are still staying around to guide and support others on their volunteer journey.

Looking forward to the next year.

Happy National Volunteer Week!
