Today, on International Firefighters’ Day, Clarkefield CFA proudly recognises and thanks every firefighter who gives their time, energy and courage to protect others.

Across Victoria, firefighters stand ready for grassfires, structure fires, road rescues, storm events, strike team deployments and major emergencies. Whether career or volunteer, local or from hundreds of kilometres away, every firefighter plays a part in protecting communities when they need it most.

Here in Clarkefield, we have seen firsthand what that commitment truly looks like.

During the recent Clarkefield fire, it was incredibly inspiring to see so many CFA volunteers give up their time and travel from across the region to support our community. Crews from neighbouring brigades and beyond left their own families, work and commitments behind to stand beside us on the fireground.

That is what the CFA family is all about.

It is not just about trucks, hoses or flashing lights. It is about people. People who turn out at all hours, in all conditions, for communities they may not even live in, simply because help is needed.

To every firefighter across CFA, FRV, Forest Fire Management Victoria and emergency services across Australia — thank you.

To our neighbouring brigades, thank you for your support, professionalism and mateship. We are proud to stand beside you.

Happy International Firefighters’ Day. 🚒

Such a great example of exactly what preparation can do for you!

Such a great example of exactly what preparation can do for you!

Meredith residents Jeff and Marg Cooper have been praised for their preparation efforts at their property ahead of the fire season, as their new sprinkling system saved their house this summer during the Mount Mercer fires on January 9 🚿🧯

Jeff said the winning formula was installing 35 new sprinklers in a horseshoe pattern around the garden to create a green belt 🌿and his upgrades to the pumps that come out of his dam.

Two car accidents, same road, similar details but 20 kilometres apart.

Crews responded to both jobs under the impression they were separate jobs, but they were the same! Just very different addresses.
Now we’d rather be on the road and available in case it’s two separate jobs - that’s totally fine!
But, it really does help giving the correct incident location.
Google maps is great for working out your location, closest intersection etc. but what if you’re a long way from anywhere? Or out bush where there’s no roads?

What3words might be the answer.
The what3words app assigns three specific words to your location, where emergency services can pinpoint your location down to a 3 square metre block! Just think how valuable that information would be to us in an emergency. The exact 3 square metre location.
Your what 3 words are also available to you in the emergency plus app.

Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet of late!
I don’t think we realised just how exhausting this season was until it started to quieten down.
While fire season isn’t fully over, and restrictions are still in force, we are all taking some time to unwind and spend time with our families after what was a very busy season!

Just thought we should pop on and say hi and wow how nice is this rain!
Lots of lightning about so keep your eyes peeled over the next few days for anything that may be smouldering.
☔️ stay safe friends, keep being you, our awesome community.

It feels like summer is coming to an end, but coming up on Wednesday we’re currently slated for another extreme fire danger day.

With the rain we’ve had there’s definitely green growth around but it hasn’t removed the dry annual grasses or overcome the significantly low moisture levels in the bush.

We’re still a few days out but it is worth being aware of and prepared for. Fires can still happen and be significant for us.

Our busy bushfire season is sadly far from over. The new seasonal outlook from AFAC News shows increased fire risk during autumn for most of our state.

Victoria has faced a very hot and dry summer season this year already. These conditions are set to continue well into autumn, increasing the potential for fires to start and spread.

However, Victoria continues to be well prepared for any new fires that may start.

Stay up to date with the latest warnings by downloading the VicEmergency app or visiting emergency.vic.gov.au.

Have a fire survival plan ready before a fire starts. Visit the CFA (Country Fire Authority) website for more information.
