You might occasionally spot your local Ocean Grove CFA crew out and about on a Monday night, braving the mozzies while we get to know our local area, sharpen our skills and make sure we’re ready when you need us most. So if you spot our trucks around town on a Monday night, like last night, give us a wave 👋

Today we’re giving a shout-out to the amazing older members of our brigade - the ones who are full of knowledge, experience and stories, and are still very much young at heart!

You’ve seen a thing or two, know a thing or two, and you’re always willing to pass it on.

From sharing skills and knowledge to lending a hand, having a laugh and keeping the brigade ticking along - you’re a huge part of what makes Ocean Grove CFA the brigade it is. Thank you!

On International Day of Older Persons, we're recognising the older CFA volunteers who share their knowledge, guide future generations and help keep communities safe. 🤝

We spoke to some members from the Wyndham Vale brigade and learnt that when every generation has a seat at the table, our brigades are stronger for it.

You might have spotted Jemima and Alex yesterday at Kingston, handing out information and chatting with locals about bushfire preparedness.

As Victoria heads into what is expected to be a heightened fire season, it’s important for residents and property owners to understand their local fire risk and take steps to prepare.

This month our brigade has been pre-summer training, sharpening our skills and getting our crew ready for the fire season ahead.

After a warm and dry winter - and a warm and dry spring forecast - we’re ready if Victoria’s fire season starts earlier than usual.

Now’s a good time to download the VicEmergency app to monitor Fire Danger Ratings and local warnings. Stay informed, stay safe.

Simona and Claire from Ocean Grove Fire Brigade joined women from across District 7 for a hands-on hot fire training day at VEMTC Central Highlands yesterday.

Female CFA firefighters across District 7 have increased from 13.1% to 16.8% over the past decade. At Ocean Grove, we’re proud to help push those numbers along, with a third of our brigade members being women. 💪👩‍🚒

Our crews were called today after a burn-off unfortunately got away from the area it was intended to be contained to.

The burn-off had a permit and the conditions were suitable. Everything appeared to be in place - but fire, being fire, doesn’t always stick to the plan.

It’s a good reminder that even a permitted burn-off in good conditions can sometimes get away unexpectedly.

If you’re planning a burn-off, check CFA’s guidance before lighting up:

AFAC has just dropped the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Spring, and it’s pointing to an earlier start to the season this year. Parts of eastern and western Victoria are already feeling the pinch from drought, which means a higher bushfire risk as we head into spring and summer.

Under these conditions, we could see multiple large fires as early as October in parts of the state — so now’s the perfect time to get your plan and property sorted.

A few quick wins:
📋 Update your fire plan
🌱 Keep long grass mowed
🏡 Clear out those gutters

Being prepared genuinely makes a difference. For more practical tips on getting ready for the season, head to CFA’s property prep guide.
