📢 Our Members are currently in attendance at The Carrum Downs Market today.

🚒 Our fire truck is there for the kids to climb all over.

🐨 We have fire truck lunch boxes and Captain Koalas for sale. All money raised goes to supply the brigade with life saving equipment.

🔥 Information around fire safety is also available

Plenty of other activities for the entire family.

Support a fantastic local community initiative and come down and say hello to the team.

Today, some of our crew headed down to Clever Kids Early Learning Centre to run some ‘Truck Time’ activities with the kids.

We always love the opportunity to get out into our community, meet the little ones and share what we do at Skye Fire Brigade 🧑‍🚒🚒

And how sweet is the card they made for us! It's up at the station for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you to the Clever Kids team for having us ☺️

Two Skye Fire Brigade members doing us proud at the AFAC Conference this week! 👏

Firefighter Richard Hurley is a CSIRO researcher studying how fire behaves in different crops, helping improve the way we predict fire behaviour in Australia 🔥

Firefighter Bob Schaede supports our organisation and the wider industry through equipment and processes that make our jobs easier 🚒

Your hard work and contribution are making a difference. Thank you Richard and Bob! 🙌

Help us get to you when it matters most!

Please avoid parking:
💧 Within 1 metre of a fire hydrant (like the one pictured below).
🚒 On narrow roads or opposite parked cars.
🚧 In a way that blocks access to streets, driveways or emergency access points.

When we respond to an emergency, every second counts. A fire truck needs significantly more space than a regular car, and a blocked hydrant can delay our access to essential water supply.

Recently the brigade responded to assist our colleagues at Ambulance Victoria and Eyewatch - Frankston Police Service Area with an injured male along the side of Peninsula Link Freeway Frankston North.

The male patient had sustained a suspected injury to his leg and Ambulance Victoria crews were unable to extract him due to muddy/rough terrain and poor weather conditions.

Skye's "Support" (a 4x4 Ford Ranger) was used to access the patient and transport both AV crews and the patient out to a waiting road ambulance.

A unique call and well done to all emergency services onscene.

Today the Australian Government conducted a national test of the new AusAlert emergency warning system.

From October, AusAlert will be used to send warnings about a range of emergencies, including bushfires 🔥

If you didn't receive today's test alert, your phone may not be compatible, may need a software update, or may have been out of service at the time. It's worth checking your device is ready to receive future emergency alerts.

And remember, AusAlert is only one way to receive emergency information. Don't wait for an alert before taking action- have an emergency plan, stay informed, and download the VicEmergency app to receive warnings and incident information for your area 👍
