Before you light your burn pile please register it by calling 1800 668 511 or going to https://firepermits.vic.gov.au/. WHY do we ask you to do this? You are likely doing everything right but if someone drives past, sees flames & smoke at your place and is concerned, they will call 000 - then brigades from all over our district are legally obliged to turn up with trucks & sirens - just to ensure it’s safe. However if your burn off is registered, an alternative process is used to see if the trucks & sirens are indeed required!

The Arthurs Creek & Strathewen CFA Brigade, like many brigades, is a volunteer-based organisation. We would love to add more volunteers to our ranks. If you have some time, we would love to talk to you about what roles & tasks are available at our brigade. Now is the perfect time to start! Please give us a call & we can talk you through the process.

We're excited! We have a date for our First Aid course - 23 August! It's open to all our Arthurs Creek & surrounding community. Please save the date & send us a DM to get your name on the list. (If you provide your email & phone, we will keep you posted on payment arrangements!)

Today is Smoke Alarm Action Day, and CFA is joining fire agencies across Australia to ask everyone to check their smoke alarms.

Only working smoke alarms save lives, so take some time to check yours and protect you and your family today.

Congratulations to our award winners at our Presentation night. Each year we give awards to those who've served a significant amount of time with the CFA. A certificate is presented after 5 years, then a medal for every 5 years after that. On Sunday evening we had the honour of presenting 5 year certificates through to 60 year medals; here are pics of some of our recipients.

We will share some photos of our fabulous end of season Presentation & Awards night on Sunday night in the coming days, but first we'd like to thank the lovely people who generously donated items for our event including Cakeline Bakes, & Irene's Pastry. Also a big thankyou to George, Vicki, Lena, Louise, Bree, Helen, Amy, Emma & George for everything they did to provide our amazing souvlaki meal. A fabulous team who prepped, chopped, & cooked to feed us all. Thankyou all for everything you did 💞
