Our Juniors spent their Sunday at the 2026 Junior Development Day which was hosted by Fern Tree Brigade. The day is a great opportunity for the kids to test out skills they’ve been learning with various activities throughout the local area. They not only get to work as a team but meet other juniors and cadets from Southern Region brigades. Thanks Fern Tree for an amazing day, well done kids for representing Wellington to highest level and finally…… HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY! 🥳🎈🚒

What a way to end National Volunteer Week!! 8 brigades from the Derwent Group got together to traverse a little travelled area behind the Northern Suburbs in the foothills of Mount Wellington. We started off the morning at Collinsvale Station, half the group travelled the Mt Hull trail while the larger trucks took the zig zag track, meeting back up at the top of the hill to check out the TasGRN radio tower, once done taking in the spectacular views we made our way out onto Tolosa Fire trail ending up at our station for a BBQ lunch.

Thanks to Ben, Cameron and Andrew for organising today, and thanks to Collinsvale Fire Brigade - Tasmania, Molesworth Fire Brigade - Tasmania , Claremont Fire Brigade, Mt Nelson, Fern Tree, Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade and Lenah Valley Fire Brigade for spending the day with us.

Congratulations to our Fourth Officer, Corey Suhr, who was recognised tonight at the Glenorchy City Council Community and Volunteer Awards for his contribution to the Glenorchy community through his volunteer service with our brigade.

Corey joined the brigade at just 10 years old and has continued to demonstrate a strong commitment to both the brigade and the wider community over many years.

We’re incredibly proud of Corey and grateful for everything he contributes. He is a valued member of the brigade and a positive role model to all our members, young and old.

Today our members had the honour of laying a wreath at the Glenorchy ANZAC service.

Lest we forget

24/04/2026

Today we pause for ANZAC Day.

We remember those who have served and those still serving, those who never came home, and those who carried the weight long after.

Their courage wasn't loud. It was steady, enduring, and often unseen.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

🚒 It’s been a busy start to the long weekend for our brigade, with crews out yesterday day assisting with a large incident in Derwent Park, and then farewelling one of our own, Dwayne, who heads off on deployment today to assist in firefighting efforts in WA.

With hot conditions forecast for Tuesday, please take extra care, plan ahead and keep fire safety front of mind.
