Carrum Downs Fire Brigade

Carrum Downs Fire Brigade Carrum Downs Fire Brigade attends an average of 400 fires and incidents per year.

We are a fully volunteer brigade and some of the incidents types we attend include: structure fires, car fires, motor vehicle accidents (including rescue), industrial rescue, grass and scrub fires, hazardous materials and many more. As well as attending fires, Carrum Downs Fire Brigade is also involved in community awareness and safety, Fire Safe Kids, kindergarten visits and many fundraising acti

vities. Carrum Downs Fire Brigade trains on Tuesday nights and all members are required to attend the fire station one Sunday a month to maintain the station and grounds and check all the equipment on the trucks. When joining as an operational firefighter you are required to successfully complete the general fire fighter course. From the time you join as a member it will be approximately 3-6 months before you complete your initial training and you are able to attend fires and incidents with the Brigade. We have 45 fire fighters and 10 Brigade Support Team members, who work together on a regular basis to make sure that our Brigade runs smoothly. Our brigade motto is ‘Striving to Exceed Community Expectations’ and we live by this motto by providing the highest level of service to our community. The Brigade Support Team who assists with fundraising and social activities who meet on the first Monday of the month, meetings start at 7.30pm. If you are interested in becoming either an Operational Fire fighter or a Brigade Supprt Team Member of our Brigade please contact Carrum Downs Fire Brigade via:

Does your alarm chirp occasionally? That means the battery is going flat.
Change your smoke alarms to ones with 10-year lithium batteries, so you can be protected longer.
Only working smoke alarms save lives.

Interconnected smoke alarms will alert you of a fire no matter where the fire starts in
your home. ⏲🔥🚒
