On Sunday the 18th of October, our Brigade will be hosting “Are You Fire Ready” at the station.
We can help you understand your specific bush fire risk, help create a fire plan for your property, discuss fire season preparations, look at the Emergency app and help set up your personal watch zones.
The station will be manned from 10am until 1pm with a bbq going on for a sausage and bread from 11.30am.
So come along for a chat and maybe a cuppa and a snag. Free information kits will be available for you to take home.
