Chidlow Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade (VBFB), founded in 1950, is one of the volunteer brigades in the Shire of Mundaring. The brigade operates two fire fighting appliances, comprising a 4.4 Broadacre Tanker and a Light Tanker. We turn out any time of the day or night, all year round. New members are always welcome. We have approximately 50 members of diverse ages, backgrounds, and employment who volunteer their time to our community. Our Captain and Lieutenants manage four teams to help spread the workload across all members. Being part of the Chidlow Volunteer Bushfire Brigade provides opportunities to learn, as well as a real opportunity for members to develop leadership and management skills. We help to protect our community from bush fires by working as a team at fire incidents and through fuel reduction burns during the prescribed burning period. New members receive training in Bushfire Safety Awareness, Firefighting Skills, Communications, and First Aid. Most training is delivered locally at the Mundaring Firefighters School (MFS) on weekends during the off-fire season. If you are thinking about joining the Chidlow VBFB then come visit us at the Chidlow Fire Station between 9.30 and 11.00am on Saturday mornings. The station is located on the corner of Wilcox Street and Old Northam Road, Chidlow. More information regarding bush fires, fire management, and volunteering can be found at
