National Bullying Prevention Week

Bullying can happen anywhere — in schools, workplaces, sporting clubs, online, and within our communities. This week is a reminder that kindness, respect, and support can make a real difference.

Let’s work together to create safe and inclusive environments where everyone feels valued, heard, and supported.

✔ Speak up against bullying
✔ Support those who may be struggling
✔ Lead by example with kindness and respect

Together, we can help build stronger and safer communities for everyone.

Did you know that almost two thirds of people who die in house fires have a disability?
On average, 18 people die in preventable residential house fires in Victoria every year.
CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria have an online learning module to support at risk people with planning for fire emergencies at home.
Prevent, Detect, Escape – Home Fire Safety for people at higher risk is made for people at increased fire risk, and for people who support or care for them. www.cfa.vic.gov.au/atrisk

Our thoughts are with the firefighters, emergency services personnel, and the people of Crete, Greece, as they continue to battle these devastating bushfires.

We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of those who have tragically lost their lives. Our heartfelt thoughts are also with everyone who has been impacted by these fires.

To every firefighter and emergency service worker on the front line, thank you for your courage, resilience, and selfless service during this challenging time. Your dedication to helping others and keeping your community safe

From all of us at Epping Fire Brigade.
