It was a busy day/night for our volunteer firefighters yesterday & overnight.

Around 9.15am Thursday morning, along with supporting brigades Beaconsfield Fire Brigade - CFA, Berwick Fire Brigade CFA & FRV Pumper 93 we were called to a structure fire in McBride Rd Upper Beaconsfield that a caused considerable amount of damage to the owners property. Thankfully all occupants were safe & well.

Officer Fire Brigade rehabilitation support and Ambulance Victoria 🚑 also attended for firefighter welfare and health monitoring.

Then at 1.20am early on Friday morning, we were paged to a suspicious car fire on Beaconsfield-Emerald Road near the intersection of Quamby Rd. Crews in breathing apparatus extinguished the fire. Road crews repaired the heat damaged road on Friday morning.

🔥 Burning Off in Cardinia Shire 🔥

The Fire Danger Period has officially ended for the 2025/26 Season. Regulations relating to burning off now come under the jurisdiction of Cardinia Shire Council.

Under the council laws, there are set days in the week where it is permissible for residents to burn off. These days can differ depending on the zoning of your residential address. To check your zone visit: www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/burningoff

We urge residents to take care when burning off as there is still plenty of dry undergrowth. Just because you can burn off, it doesn’t always mean that you should. Always check weather conditions first. It doesn't take much for a spark or ember to spread to a larger fire that can become unmanageable.

Never burn off on windy 💨 days ❌
Always keep burn piles manageable ✅
Always have adequate water on standby ✅
Always extinguish your fire when finished ✅

Stay safe
