There is currently no Australian Standard for testing a Fire Extinguisher's success in combating a fire involving Lithium-ion Batteries.

CFA does not promote, endorse or engage in the sale, use or servicing of fire extinguishers which purport to be effective on lithium-ion battery fires.

GIVEAWAY!

As part of our 80th Celebration, FEM will be hosting a Celebration Lunch on the 29th of August at a venue to be confirmed in Bendigo.

Ticket information will be sent to our current FEM brigades shortly.

BUT we need your help. We know brigade members have moved around, and we would love for you to share this message widely with anyone who may be interested.

We are also looking for history and information. We know brigades and members have so much information, memorabilia and other items tucked away in their collections.

We want to know your stories, histories and how FEM has helped your brigade.

For anyone who can send us some information to [email protected], include your details, and we will include a historical PFA patch for your collection (while we have some in stock).

Well done to all of the teams and competitors that participated in the CFA / VFBV Firefighter State Championships - Celebrating CFA 2026.

So many familiar faces and great conversations across such a huge range of topics.

Thanks to everyone that stopped by to have a chat, see our displays and being patient with us while we worked through the repairs.

A massive shout out to all of the volunteers that helped behind the scenes for what was a hugely successful couple of weekends, particularly the team from Stawell Fire Brigade.

See you all next year!
