🔥It's not just our neighbours next door who're looking for their latest superstars! 🔥

We're also on the search for the next generation of firefighters in Moora 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

Unlike the VFRS, we only attend bushfires- so if you'd only rather attend bushfires, we're your #1 pick! 💪

All you need for consideration to join is:
-At least 18 years old
-Hold an unrestricted drivers license
-Pass a national police clearence
-Be willing to give up your time for a good cause
-Be generally fit and healthy
We will be holding a recruitment information session during March with more information on what we do, opportunities within volunteering, and how you can get involved.

Well, it’s ☀️HOT! ☀️and we are in the middle of another heatwave alert 🥵

Heatwaves are often overlooked compared with other emergency alerts however, they can present some significant risks – especially for the more vulnerable groups in our communities.

Please look after yourselves and check in with those around you.

Helpful information on preparing for heatwaves can be found on the Department of Health website - www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/articles/f_i/heatwave-be-prepared-for-extreme-heat

We were more than happy to assist our mates at Moora Volunteer Fire & Rescue and the Shire of Moora Wednesday night when the call came in for the Moora tip fire 👨‍🚒🔥

30/11/2024

Our crews have been busy these last few days! We've sent three shifts to help our mates with the Cervantes bushfire. Crews have been working around the clock since Monday to contain this fire and protect the surrounding communities 🚒

On our way home from our last shift, we received the call to assist at a scrub fire on the Shire's border. Both farmer response and brigades worked alongside to bring the fire under control quickly.

As the weather heats up, ensure you have a bushfire plan and know what you would do in an emergency. The DFES website has all the information you need to ensure you and your family remain safe this summer ☀️
