SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES

Not all of our call outs are to fight fires. At Glenlyon CFA we’re also about preventing them.

CFA's free smoke detector installation program is available for residents in Glenlyon and surrounds for folk who need a hand. If you, or someone you know has no smoke alarms, alarms that are old, or alarms that have stopped working, our brigade will come out and install new ones, free of charge.

It's aimed especially at older residents, people living on their own, and anyone for whom getting up a ladder or buying and fitting an alarm just isn't easy.

Did you know most home fire deaths happen at night, while people are asleep. When you’re sleeping you can’t smell smoke and a working smoke alarm is what wakes you in time to get out. With heaters and electric blankets all getting more use through a cold Central Victorian winter, now is the time to ensure your home is covered and you and your family are safe. Having a working smoke detector in your bedroom is strongly recommended.

Do you know someone who could use this? Leave us a message here on the page and we'll get back to you to arrange a visit.

Last night we had another 6 firefighters complete their external breathing apparatus (BA) course. This increases our capability further to combat fires and incidents where toxic gases, heat and oxygen deficiency is a concern.

Keeping our community safe and our firefighters protected is our mission!

Our station goes from strength to strength!!!

June 1st and the first official day of winter is nearly here. 🥶

Did you know that June 1st is also
SMOKE ALARM ACTION DAY.
It’s a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detector (some newer smoke detectors have batteries that last up to 10 years) and test your smoke detectors.

CFA and FRV are urging Victorians to:
* Test smoke alarms monthly
* Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, living area and hallway
* Interconnect smoke alarms where possible
* Replace smoke alarms every 10 years
* Keep clothing, bedding and curtains at least one metre from heaters
* Never leave candles, cooking or heaters unattended
* Make and practise a home fire escape plan

🔥Today in the early afternoon, we were paged to a grass and scrub fire 🔥
Upon turning out we were advised there may have been a structure under threat.

Thankfully, upon arrival the fire had slowed down due to the help of some quick thinking neighbours.

The fire was brought under control relatively quickly but due to the steep and difficult terrain took a while to extinguish.
Glenlyon was assisted by multiple surrounding briagdes. We want to thank all briagdes for their quick response.

🚨 Please remember even though we are out of fire danger period that due to our area still being pretty dry, fires can and will get out of control if not attended to in the necessary ways 🚨
For example:
- 3 metre area cleared around the fire
- water on hand should something go wrong
- check weather conditions before burning, make sure the wind is below 13km (to gauge this look at tree branches, if they have medium to high movement, it's too windy to burn)
