🔥 CLIMB. SUPPORT. SAVE LIVES. 🔥

We are incredibly proud of one of our own, Lieutenant Ross Skilbeck, who also serves our wider CFA community as a Deputy Group Officer with the Buninyong Group.

On 12 September 2026, Ross will take on the 13th Annual Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb—climbing 28 floors in 25 kilograms of firefighting gear! 💪🚒

This gruelling challenge raises vital funds and awareness in the fight against cancer, depression and suicide—causes that affect far too many people, including members of our emergency-services family.

Ross continually gives his time, experience and leadership to support our brigade, the Buninyong Group and the wider community. Now it’s our turn to get behind him!

Please help Ross make every step count by donating through the QR code on the image or visiting:

Good luck, Ross! Everyone at the Napoleons–Enfield Fire Brigade is extremely proud of you. We know you’ll give it everything you’ve got! 👏🔥

🚨 PLEASE HELP KEEP OUR FIREFIGHTERS SAFE 🚨

When you see emergency service vehicles stopped on the side of the road with red, blue or magenta lights flashing, please remember — there are people working around those vehicles.

👨‍🚒 Firefighters
👮 Police
🚑 Paramedics
🦺 SES and other emergency workers

In Victoria, motorists must slow to 40 km/h when passing stationary or slow-moving emergency or enforcement vehicles displaying flashing lights, and only increase speed again once you are safely past.

For our members at Napoleons-Enfield Fire Brigade, the roadside can be one of the most dangerous places we work. We may be dealing with a crash, fire, fallen tree, hazardous material, traffic control or simply trying to protect someone who needs help.

At night, in poor weather or on high-speed roads, a vehicle approaching too fast gives us very little time to react.

⚠️ When approaching an emergency scene:

✅ Slow down early
✅ Reduce your speed to 40 km/h
✅ Give emergency personnel as much space as possible
✅ Follow any directions from firefighters, police or traffic controllers
✅ Stay focused — put the phone down
✅ Don’t stop to take photos or video
✅ Only speed up again once you are safely clear of the scene

We’re volunteers. We’re your neighbours, friends, workmates, mums, dads, sons and daughters — and after every call-out, we want to get home safely to our families too.

Slow down. Move over where safe. Pay attention.

A few extra seconds of your trip could prevent a tragedy.

🚒 Help us help you — and help keep our emergency service members safe.

Serving and protecting our community.
