Well done to Brandan, Finn and Kyle on smashing todays Stair Climb!

Wearing 25kg of gear in Breathing Apparatus, Brandan completed the 28 flights of stairs in under 5 minutes, Kyle in under 6 minutes and Finn in under 8 minutes. A very impressive effort by all three.

The 3 also raised $2,420 towards Lifeline, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation and the 000 Foundation. This has contributed to the event raising over 1 million dollars for these great charities. Thank you to all those who donated.

Well done to everyone involved!

Last week we completed our Breathing Apparatus (BA) skills maintenance training.

Every 6 months, our BA qualified firefighters must don and wear BA to renew their qualification and improve their skillset. Last Thursday night, we trained Search and Rescue, Hose Deployment and Ladder safety. These are essential skills for structural/ urban firefighting.

Thank you to those who organised such a great training night.

AusAlert is Australia’s new national warning system.

It does not replace VicEmergency and will only be used in certain situations.

AusAlert is being tested at 2 pm on Monday 27 July.

What to expect: You’ll get an alert on your mobile device. It will vibrate and make a loud, siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds - even if your phone is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.

Safety: If this test could cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time. Leave them off for at least one hour.

As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything. However, in an actual disaster you should follow the alert instructions to keep yourself and others safe.

To hear what an AusAlert sounds like and to learn more, visit ausalert.gov.au.

First round of photos for our 2027 Healesville Fire Brigade Community Calendar are done!

With the generous support of local businesses, Healesville Fire Brigade will be releasing a community focused calendar full of laughs for 2027. This weekend we visited Mugshot Barbers, The Mare café, My Little Kitchen and Main Street Pilates for photos. Thank you for their generosity and hospitality this weekend, and we can’t wait to see the final results.

Over the coming weeks, we will be visiting Payten and Jones, Beechworth Bakery, Gunther Real Estate, Healesville Garden Supplies, TarraWarra Museum of Art, Midnight Flowers, Kitchen + Butcher and Breen Printing. Looking forward to it!

This school holidays, take the time to practise your home fire escape plan with your family.

Take the opportunity to talk to your family and tick off these boxes:

- Practise the two quickest ways out of every room.

- Know how you'll exit from upstairs if your home has a second storey.

- Have an agreed meeting place outside, like the letterbox.

- Make sure everyone, including children, knows how to call Triple Zero (000).

- Smoke alarms working and up to date.

- And remember, once you are out, stay out!

Incident Update: Maroondah Parade House Fire:

Yesterday at approx. 5.45pm we were paged, alongside Badger Creek CFA, to a House Fire on Maroondah Parade in Healesville. Crews were quick to respond and arrived to find the house engulfed in flames. Firefighters quickly put on Breathing Apparatus to protect the neighbouring house that was under threat from burning fences and trees.

With the neighbouring house safe, crews worked to extinguish the house. The fire was quickly contained by both External and Internal Firefighters in Breathing Apparatus. Though the structure remained standing, the contents of the house were unfortunately lost. Thank you to Badger Creek Fire Brigade and Bayswater Fire Brigade-CFA BA Unit for their assistance.

Our thoughts are with the owners.
