On Saturday night we held our Annual Brigade Dinner celebrating 85 years of protecting the Pearcedale community.
We would like to thank everyone for coming along and helping us celebrate such a huge milestone for our brigade.
Congratulations to all that received their service awards, especially our captain Sully and Des on being in the brigade for half time it’s been around.
Also congratulations to Jason Jones on receiving Firefighter of the year, while Katrina Melen received the Captains award, Lizzie Gray received the Garry Ellis Memorial, and Ash Ellis for Bubb award.
Well done by all and a big thanks to our sponsors for the raffle prizes and everyone involved for making the night happen.

Help us to help you !
Our fire truck only holds 2-3 minutes of water , so if your house is on fire, we can fight it for only so long before we need more water. Baxter or Somerville will be on their way, but usually 10-15 minutes away, We then need to access the nearest hydrant to refill, 5-6 minutes to refill, then travel back to your house, there will not be much left to burn if we can’t access water asap, so we are calling on the community to help us out by clearing around your hydrant so we can find it day or night.
So there is a $100 gold class voucher up for grabs, send a before and after pic to go in the draw by the end of August.
Good luck everyone 👍🚒

This week we trained with our neighbouring brigades in Pearcedale to see how quick we could contain a fire in Colley st reserve if it was to happen.
With our main focus being on asset protection and containing the fire to the boundaries. We had the RPAS (drone) unit from Rowville and Westernport group’s mobile incident control van, also a visit from Sgt Lachie Gray from Hastings Vicpol. It was a very educational experience for a lot of the members to see how a drone can help us make the important decisions to make public safety our number 1 priority. A big thanks to all involved and to Adam for countless hours to make this happen and to our support group who braved the cold to put on hot drinks and light refreshments. Thanks again to all involved.
