🚒 Training Night Reminder 🔥

It’s training night tomorrow evening!

Another opportunity for our crew to sharpen skills, build confidence, and stay prepared for whatever comes our way. Every training session helps us work safer, smarter, and stronger as a team.

New members are always welcome — come along, have a look around, and see what being part of your local Rural Fire Brigade is all about.

📅 Tomorrow night
⏰ 6:00pm – 7:30pm
📍 Cawarral Rural Fire Brigade Station

We’ll see you there! 👨‍🚒🔥

🚁 No, it’s not aliens... and we’re definitely not spying on your cattle! 🚁

If you hear an unusual buzzing around the brigade this Saturday afternoon, weather pending 🍃, don’t panic!! It’s not an alien reconnaissance mission, or ol' mate Dave finally achieving his lifelong dream of becoming airborne.

Cawarral Rural Fire Brigade will be conducting QFD drone training around the brigade grounds as our volunteer RPA Pilots continue developing their specialist capability skills.

So, if you spot a drone hovering near our shed, rest assured it’s all part of training. These little flying workhorses are a valuable tool during emergencies, providing aerial views, improving situational awareness, identifying hazards, and assisting crews make decisions when every second counts.

Now, while the drone may occasionally appear to be:
🐄 Counting your cattle,
🚜 Inspecting your tractor,
🌱 Critiquing your mowing patterns,
🏈 Looking for illegally dumped blues jerserys,
💘 Looking for the love of its life,
or 👽 Reporting back to the mothership.....we can assure you it’s focused on training and not compiling a list of Cawarral's untidiest lawns.

If you see us out and about on Saturday, give us a wave! The drone probably won’t wave back—it’s still working on that feature. Ol' mate Dave is too.

🚒 Community Reminder from Cawarral Rural Fire Brigade 🚒

Over the past few weeks, our brigade has attended a number of callouts, including the incident shown in these photos. While many burns start with good intentions, conditions can change quickly and fires can easily escape control.

As we move into the cooler months, please remember the conditions of your Permit to Light Fire and ensure you are burning safely:

🔥 Keep burn piles to a manageable size (anything 2m x 2m x 2m or above requires a permit before lighting)
🔥 Check weather conditions before lighting — avoid windy or unstable days
🔥 Have adequate water and firefighting resources available at all times
🔥 Ensure firebreaks are in place and never leave a fire unattended
🔥 Fully extinguish fires before leaving the area

Now is also the perfect time to start preparing your property for the upcoming fire season:

✅ Slash or mow long grass
✅ Remove leaf litter, dead vegetation and other fuel hazards around homes and sheds
✅ Trim low tree branches and overhanging vegetation
✅ Clean gutters and roofs of leaves and debris
✅ Move flammable materials such as wood piles and fuel away from structures
✅ Ensure your property access is suitable for emergency vehicles — gates should be accessible and driveways clear with enough width and height for fire trucks
✅ Make sure your property number is clearly visible at the mailbox or entrance so emergency services can locate you quickly
✅ Check pumps, hoses and water supplies are operational
✅ Discuss and update your family bushfire survival plan

⚠️ If you see a fire that appears unattended, unsafe, or out of control, call 000 immediately. When speaking with the our friendly firecom staff, try to provide as much information as possible, including:
📍 Address or nearest road/intersection
🔥 Approximate size of fire.
🌬️ Nearby threats (homes, sheds, bushland etc.)
🚪 Best property access points or gate information.

Providing clear information helps our friendly Firecom team ensure that crews can respond quickly and effectively with the right resources!

Preparing early helps protect not only your property, but also your neighbours and our firefighters.
