Healesville CFA responded to two callouts on Thursday 18 April.
One was a shed fire in Chum Creek around 10.50am and the other one was a truck fire on Melba Highway in Dixons Creek at around 7pm.
No one got injured in both fire accidents.
CFA units attended the Chum Creek shed fire along with Victora Police and Ambulance Victoria.
Upon arrival, the crews were faced with a fire seated deep inside a 6m x 15m shed.
Healesville CFA captain Brian Earl said the first job didn’t take too long.
“We got support from Toolangi Fire Brigade and Coldstream Fire Brigade,” he said.
“The fire was contained in one part of the shed.”
The first incident was under control at 11.15am and deemed safe at 11.40am.
In the evening, Healesville CFA was called to support Dixons Creek CFA for the truck fire.
The Healesville crew were tasked with water relaying up and down the highway, as well as providing two members for fire suppression.
“The tanker was utilised to relay some water under the fire,” Mr Earl said.
“We worked well together.”
Four CFA units from Yarra Glen, Dixons Creek and Healesville as well as Victora Police attended the second incident and the incident was under control at 7.44pm and deemed safe at 9.51pm.
