It’s been a busy 4 days for Freshwater Creek Volunteers. Multiple strike teams to Mount Mercer and The Otways, many hours on the Fireground and lots of water used.

The brigade has now provided crews to 6 separate strikes teams in 4 days, including back to back relief crew changeover.
Along with this, the brigade also provided 2 Strike team leaders and scribe.

During these 4 days, the local response crews also responded to 2 primary and 1 support calls.

A reminder for everyone in our community that although the conditions have eased and the temperature has dropped. Today still remains a Total Fire Ban. This means no open air fires are permitted.
