This is a rack that will store our spare breathing apparatus (BA) cylinders for our specialised BA support appliance. A couple of our brigade members designed and built this, and it wasn't possible without the great generosity of a couple of businesses that donated materials. Our brigade greatly appreciates their generosity. Tradelink South Geelong donated the white storm water pipe, and Barwon Timber in Breakwater donated the timber. Thank you.

If you see an item for sale saying it can extinguish lithium ion battery fires, don’t buy it.

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.

This week is National Volunteer Week where we celebrate the effort and sacrifice volunteers around the state and the nation put in to keep their communities safe. And not just that but volunteers that make the country and their communities tick along. Could be the local op shop ladies to the Men’s Shed making toys for kids in hospital. There are so many ways volunteers give so much time and effort for their communities and this week, we celebrate them all.

Absolutely tragic that one of the Blaze Aid volunteers was involved in the fatal collision this morning in Bannockburn. For those unaware of what BlazeAid do, they assist farmers to rebuild their fences after a fire has been through. Our thoughts are with the BlazeAid crew at this difficult time.

Geelong City Tanker and Geelong BA Support are on scene with numerous FRV and CFA appliances at a huge mulch fire in Moolap. Crews may be on scene for some time.

Last nights training involved truck inventory and pressure testing all of our hose. With the use of the District 7 hose testing trailer, we got all of our hose tested in one go. The trailer is a great asset for the District.
