🚒🔥 Another absolutely amazing training night at Nhill! 🔥🚒

Tonight, the team headed down to Nhill Lake for another great night of hands-on training, covering:

As we transition from our winter training program into our summer program, we’re shifting our focus towards bushfire season and making sure our members are ready for the challenges ahead.

It’s nights like these that build skills, confidence and teamwork, ensuring we’re ready to respond when our community needs us most. 💪

What an amazing team we have here at Nhill! 👏❤️💛

A big thank you to all our members for the time, effort and commitment they continue to put into training and keeping our community safe.

What an absolute blast! 🎉

Our Nhill FB social night was a ripper! Plenty of food, drinks, music, laughs and, most importantly, plenty of families coming along and having a great time.

The kids were running around having the time of their lives, while everyone else got stuck into a bit of UNO, good food and plenty of laughs. It was fantastic to see the station full of members, families and friends enjoying a night together outside of training.

This is what our brigade is all about — building friendships, bringing families together and having a great time along the way! ❤️🚒

And if you thought UNO was competitive… wait until you hear what we’ve got planned next! 👀

🎤 KARAOKE NIGHT! 🎤

Stay tuned for the details — it’s shaping up to be another great night!

Last night at Avonlea 🚒

Nhill Fire Brigade attended Avonlea Aged Care for a walk-through of the facility.

It was a great opportunity for our members to look at the recent renovations, familiarise ourselves with the new and existing fire services, and review our pre-plan for the site.

Training like this is extremely valuable for our members, helping us understand the layout, access points, fire protection systems and key information before we ever need to respond to an emergency.

A big thank you to the team at Avonlea for welcoming us tonight and helping us keep our knowledge of the facility up to date.

Great to see a good number of members attending and continuing to build our capability within the community. 👨‍🚒🚒

🔥 Training Update – Nhill Fire Brigade 🔥

A huge congratulations to our four members who have successfully completed their External Breathing Apparatus (BA) qualification.

Breathing Apparatus allows firefighters to safely work in smoke-filled and hazardous environments where the air is unsafe to breathe. This course focuses on using BA during external fire operations, giving our members the skills and confidence to work safely around structure fires, industrial incidents and other emergencies where toxic smoke and gases may be present.

Training like this is an important investment in keeping our firefighters safe while increasing the brigade’s capability to respond to a wide range of incidents.

Well done to all four members on this fantastic achievement. Your dedication to training and improving your skills is a credit to both yourselves and the Nhill Fire Brigade.

🔥 A small device can make a life-saving difference. 🔥

Nhill Fire Brigade is pleased to offer the CFA’s free smoke alarm installation program to members of our community who may need a little extra assistance.

If you don’t have smoke alarms fitted, your existing alarms are outdated, or they are no longer working properly, we can help. Our volunteers will supply and install new smoke alarms free of charge for eligible residents.

This program is particularly aimed at older community members, people living independently, and anyone who may find it difficult to purchase or install a smoke alarm themselves.

As the weather cools and heating appliances, electric blankets and other winter essentials are used more frequently, the risk of home fires increases. Working smoke alarms provide an early warning and can give you and your family the precious time needed to escape safely in an emergency.

We encourage everyone to check their smoke alarms regularly and make sure they are working correctly.

If you, a family member, neighbour or friend could benefit from this program, please send the Nhill Fire Brigade page a message and we’ll organise a visit.

Looking after our community is what we do — both on and off the fireground.
