It's Good Friday Appeal day, and every donation makes a difference. 💜 You'll see our brigades and volunteers today, out and about collecting donations for this incredible cause. If you spot them, please say hello 👋 and give what you can.

We're also excited to say that we will be at Kids Day Out! Join in us today at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 10am to 5pm for a fun-filled day for the whole family.

Come and meet our volunteers, learn more about fire safety, and get hands-on with activities like our large hoses and ladders game. You can also check out our 1956 Austin Front Mounted Pumper and visit our Mobile Education Unit.

Don't miss April and Captain Koala on the big stage at 10:30am with their Fire Safety Show, and roaming around throughout the day🐨

If you're heading into the city to support the Good Friday Appeal, please consider donating if you see our volunteers out and about! And if you can't make it, you can always donate online, head to: https://fundraise.goodfridayappeal.com.au/find-a-fundraiser to find your local brigade's fundraiser to donate.

The Good Friday Appeal has been raising funds for sick kids and their families at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) for 95 years.

On Friday you will find some of our volunteers walking around the township of Derrinallum from 9am, in hope to raise funds for The Good Friday Appeal.

Please note that during this time it is likely you will hear the siren from the Fire Truck.

I'm raising money for a cause close to my heart and would love your support.

CFA crews will conduct a planned burn on the Hamilton Highway between Darlington and Derrinallum on Thursday, 26th February 2026.
Traffic management will be in place, and small delays are to be expected.
CFA brigades conduct planned burns to reduce fuel buildup, minimising the impact and spread of grass and bushfire.
If you notice smoke in your area, you can find out whether it's a fire or a planned burn by visiting the Planned Burning Victoria website https://plannedburns.ffm.vic.gov.au, the Vic Emergency website www.emergency.vic.gov.au, or by using the Vic Emergency app.

We are finding that burn piles burnt prior to the Fire Danger Period starting are still HOT!

We are asking the community to double check any piles that have been burnt. If you are concerned please contact the brigade or your local brigade to arrange a Thermal Imaging Camera to be brought out.

Thank you to our communities for their fire preparedness!
