New year, new skills

Local CFAs are now recruiting.

Firefighting with CFA

The CFA fire stations at Badger Creek, Chum Creek and Healesville are recruiting volunteers now for the 2023 General Fire Fighter (GFF) intake.

An information session will be held at Healesville Fire Station in Crowley Road Healesville on Tuesday 14 February at 7.30pm to explain everything you need to consider if you have an interest in becoming a firefighter.

It will also give you a chance to meet the brigade members. Training for the next intake at all three stations will commence in late March.

As a GFF you will learn firefighting skills, how to use specialised equipment and about fire behaviour. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in local events and education activities.

The CFA encourages you to consider becoming a volunteer and help protect your community.

Everyone is welcome, all you have to do is live near one of the three fire stations.

Fire Brigade Open Days

A reminder that the Fire Danger Period has commenced and its important to be prepared.

The three fire stations of Badger Creek, Chum Creek and Healesville will be hosting Open Day’s on February 5 Sunday between 10am-3pm.

Come along to your closest station and get some advice on planning, preventing and preparing your property for fire. Bring the children and meet the fire fighters. It’s a chance to look around the fire station, trucks and all the equipment. Find out about the different roles that can be filled as a volunteer with CFA. Volunteers are being recruited now for the next intake in March.
