Yea Fire & Rescue - CFA

12/06/2026

A big shout out and thank you for the donation we received as a result of the Murrindindi CFA Appreciation Dinner held earlier this year. Our brigade, along with all CFA brigades in the Murrindindi Shire, were lucky recipients of your tireless hard work that was done over several months. Members of our brigade were lucky enough to attend the Gala Night and enjoyed great food and entertainment, as well as a silent auction. Thank you for your hard work, your donation will enable our brigade to purchase much needed and vital equipment. Thank you again for your generosity.

Thank you very much to the Murrindindi Film Society for their generous donation of $1534.79. The lights may have dimmed on the screens, but with the purchase of our new E-Flares, the lights will be shining bright for the safety of our emergency service officers on incidents … making our scenes more visible to passing traffic! This may also come as a gentle reminder that if you see red, blue or purple lights that you are required to slow to 40km/h if safe to do so.

Thank you once again!

Today we stand together to honour the bravery and sacrifice of our servicemen and women.

Their legacy lives on in all of us.

Lest we forget.

We would like to say a massive thank you to St Lukes Yea in allowing us to apply for a grant to purchase a TIC (Thermal Imaging Camera) for our Tanker.

This now boosts capabilities for our firefighters responding on our Tanker whether it be a bushfire, house fire or anything in between.

Once the camera was handed over to the brigade it was used in vital operations in the recent Longwood Fires and many other incidents we have since responded to!

We can’t thank St Luke’s for the opportunity and also Lisa Cooke for wonderful help in organising it for us!

It’s time to turn our clocks back again this Sunday 5th of April, and with that it’s also time to check your smoke alarm! Check smoke alarms regularly, they save your life!

To say we have been busy since the beginning of the year may be a bit of an understatement!

So far we have attended around 70 emergency incidents in 2026, thats nearly 2 calls a day for a brigade that only averages around 100 calls a year.

We are so fortunate to have such a supportive brigade (Firefighters, members and their families) that help out in anyway to make it possible to keep responding to these incidents. We are also lucky to have brigades from all around the state that step up when we put the call out to help crew our vehicles to ensure that we are there when the community calls upon us!

Apart from the emergency responses, we have also been busy in many other aspects. Whether it’s assisting within Incident Management Roles, attending community meetings or having a stall set up at community events!

Unfortunately, the fire season continues and it doesn’t look like slowing down as proven by yesterday’s fire at Trawool. Rest assured that we, like all other brigades around the state are ready to respond when the need arises.

Thank you to all our firefighters, brigade members, families, friends, workplaces and community for their continued support through this busy period!
