2026 WAFES Conference & Awards 🚒🏆

Volunteers from some Northam Shire bush fire brigades, including Northam Central, attended the WAFES Conference and Awards this weekend.

This week our members refreshed their skills in responding to incidents.

We covered a number of topics including: safely turning out, arriving on scene, resource-tracking on scene, managing stand-downs and safely returning to station.

Another great night of training to keep our members prepared and our community safe. 👨‍🚒🔥

🔥Our History🔥

Did you know Northam Central Volunteer Bushfire Brigade was formed 7 years ago in August 2019?

While we’ve seen plenty of changes over the years, from new faces and new fire appliances to a new station, our goal has always remained the same: protecting our community. 🚒

🔥 Northam Central Volunteer Bushfire Brigade had a fantastic time taking part in the Bilya Festival Street Parade tonight! Thanks to everyone who came out to support the event and gave us a wave along the route. We love being part of such a great community. Enjoy the rest of the Avon Descent weekend! 🚒

🔥Summer firefighters are made in winter!🔥

Did you know winter is the best time to join your local fire brigade?

While we welcome new volunteers year-round, joining during winter gives you the best opportunity to complete your training before the upcoming bushfire season begins.

During the high-threat bushfire season (November–April), our volunteers are busy responding to emergencies, so opportunities for recruiting and training new members are more limited.

Don’t wait until summer. Start this winter and be ready when your community needs you most.

📍 register your interest here https://northamshire1.formstack.com/forms/applicant_enquiry_form and come and meet the crew at Northam Central Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade.

🚒💦 Getting ready for another fire season means making sure we’re prepared for whatever comes our way.

Last Thursday’s training focused on drafting - the process of filling a fire truck from a static water source such as a farm dam, swimming pool or water tank when there are no standpipes or hydrants available.

Being able to quickly and safely access water in rural areas is a vital skill for volunteer firefighters and can make all the difference during a bushfire.

Interested in joining Northam Central Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade? We’re always looking for new members! No experience is necessary - training is provided. Find out more or register your interest here: https://northamshire1.formstack.com/forms/applicant_enquiry_form 🚒
