DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME STARTS

This Sunday 4 October (being the first Sunday in October) are when clocks are put forward one hour signalling the start of Daylight Saving Time. So set all your clocks that don't auto update forward one hour before bed.

This is also the time for everyone to check/test their smoke alarms because working smoke alarms really do save lives.

So, remember this Saturday night to change your clocks FORWARD one hour and change/check your smoke alarm batteries.

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.

Margaret ‘Dawn’ Thomas, 1938–2026

It is with great sadness that we advise that Life Member and Ex-Captain of Noojee Fire Brigade, Dawn Thomas, passed away peacefully on Saturday morning.

Dawn moved to Noojee to retire with her husband 38 years ago, she quickly became an active and well-known member of the community.

Ever community minded, she joined Noojee Fire Brigade in 1992 and served in many roles, including that of Captain for 16 years between 1998 and 2014. Dawn was one of the CFA’s first female captains and attended more than 350 emergencies during her active years with the brigade.

She will be missed by Noojee Fire Brigade and the Noojee community.

A service to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dawn will be held at St John’s Cooperating Church, Main Road, Neerim South, on Friday, September 11, at 11am.
