We have recenty had questions regarding Fire Restrictions/ FDP and comments about it starting this week, to confirm for our local Campaspe area, Fire Restrictions are NOT coming in yet. Recent media has been about FDP starting in some Gippsland area.

These discussions about FDP are good though, it shows that people are thinking about cleaning and getting ready for summer.

🔥 WE ARE RECRUITING 🔥
Over the past few weeks, we’ve introduced you to some of the people who make Stanhope CFA what it is.

Our Captain.
Our Lieutenants.
Our Health & Safety Officer.
And one of our newest firefighters.

Now we'd love to introduce you to the team.
You don't have to be an experienced firefighter.
CFA has operational and support roles, with opportunities to use a wide range of skills.
Training and support are provided.
Maybe you can help on the truck.
Maybe you have skills that can support the brigade behind the scenes.
Maybe you simply want to give something back to your community.
Give us what you can.
Come down, meet the team and have a chat about how you could get involved with Stanhope CFA.
