So it may be off season. Never off season for Morawa from alarms to road crashes.

Our team has been busy doing training. From new recruits doing basic training .
To others learning leadership roles.

Training on Tuesdays is in full swing with some of our members refreshing their BA ( breathing apparatus ) competencies.

20/06/2026

So today you may have seen a few members walking around town. We are starting our fitness regime. If you want to join us for a walk leave a message .

Our Captain Barbuto and Lt Almen are heading to Perth next month for an internal structural fire course. Which will increase the Morawa VFES capabilities .

A part of that is wearing BA( breathing Apparatus ) so they wore this as they went around town. A few new members Crystal and Indie plus some children enjoyed a walk around town.

Our volunteers will be around to help if needed. However help us by following the plan and clean up guide below.

Stay safe everyone and remember our volunteers are community members too.

Their own homes will also be affected so let’s all do our part.

With the burn off fire ban ending on the 16th March just be aware that there is still a lot of heat and hot weather around.

Be safe and remember those that come to help are volunteers.

So as the season is near its end extra training and family night was held . With some new members coming on board . We got out the hoses and tested our foam capabilities .

Shout out to our LTs Steve and Greg and our Apparatus Officer Daniel for helping train the new recruits .

If you’re thinking about joining or volunteering come on down Tuesday nights from 5pm and meet with the team.

As we head towards the end of fire season if there is such a thing a quick shout out to a few of our members who went to help out in Dongara Port Denison last weekend.

Captain Bradley Barbuto and LT Steve Almen were part of a strike team that went to assist and relive those coming off night shift.

LT Steve joined some career boys on the Saturday and we thought we lost him to the dark side.

He returned to join Capt Barbuto on Sunday who was appointed Sector Commander for the Dennison Side of the Fire.

Along with Cassie and Amanda from the Dongara brigade they helped save boats and sheds. Then checked on golf course before saving the tip and the town from a new fire that sparked up Sunday lunchtime.

Well done boys and thanks for the remainder of the Morawa crew who wanted to go but someone needed to stay back in case of issues locally.

With water bombers coming in most of the day the heat and ferociousness of the fire truly tested all who were there.

Shout out to all the crews that came from far and wide to support the communities of Dongara and Port Denison.
