There is currently no Australian Standard for testing a Fire Extinguisher's success in combating a fire involving Lithium-ion Batteries.

CFA does not promote, endorse or engage in the sale, use or servicing of fire extinguishers which purport to be effective on lithium-ion battery fires.

AFAC News has released the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for winter 2026. The outlook suggests an earlier start to the bushfire season this year. We are likely to see a warmer and drier winter across Victoria. However, winter remains a lower-risk period for bushfires.

While bushfire risk may be low, house fires and escaped burn-offs are more common at this time of the year. Now is the time to check that your smoke alarms are working and practise your home evacuation plan. Always register your burn-off (firepermits.vic.gov.au), keep an eye on the weather conditions and never leave a fire unattended.

Now is a great time to start preparing your property for the next bushfire season. For tips, visit the CFA website: cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/how-to-prepare-your-property.

Winter has arrived in Victoria, which means shorter days, wet roads and mysteriously fewer Melbourne supporters at the MCG.

If you’re heading away this King’s Birthday long weekend, take extra care behind the wheel.

Changing road conditions can catch drivers out quickly - slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, avoid distractions and never drive impaired.

And if you’re heading to the snow, make sure you’re carrying and fitting wheel chains when required.

Several of our members topped the weekend off by participating in the Baw Baw Group Exercise today, either as participants in the exercise or in supporting roles with the organising team. These exercises are a great opportunity to gain new skills and refresh previous learning. We all enjoyed the experience and gained lots from the day.
A huge 'thank you ' must go to the organising team for putting on a well organised event.

A big few days for some of our members. Congratulations to Fiona on obtaining her MR license  - a much needed new driver...
