A huge thank you to the Berwick Op Shop for their incredible ongoing support of CFA brigades.

Their recent donation is a fantastic contribution and will make a real difference in helping us continue to serve and protect our community.

This generous support assists us in purchasing vital equipment, tools, and resources that help our members respond safely and effectively when our community needs us most.

From all of us at the brigade, thank you to the Berwick Op Shop team, volunteers, and everyone who supports them.

Today our brigade gathered for the ANZAC Day Dawn Service, standing together in reflection, gratitude, and respect for those who served and sacrificed for our country.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget. 🌺

🔥 Burning Off in Cardinia Shire 🔥

The Fire Danger Period has officially ended for the 2025/26 Season. Regulations relating to burning off now come under the jurisdiction of Cardinia Shire Council.

Under the council laws, there are set days in the week where it is permissible for residents to burn off. These days can differ depending on the zoning of your residential address. To check your zone visit: www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/burningoff

We urge residents to take care when burning off as there is still plenty of dry undergrowth. Just because you can burn off, it doesn’t always mean that you should. Always check weather conditions first. It doesn't take much for a spark or ember to spread and evolve into a larger fire that becomes unmanageable.

Never burn off on windy 💨 days ❌
Always keep burn piles manageable ✅
Always have adequate water on standby ✅
Always extinguish your fire when finished ✅

Stay safe!

With the easing of fire restrictions across most of Victoria, it’s a good time of year to consider your burn-off requirements for property maintenance and preparation.

The Fire Permits Victoria website is a quick and easy way to notify emergency services of planned burn-offs, enabling our TZV call-takers to prioritise genuine emergency calls and avoid the unnecessary dispatch of firefighting resources.

Registering your burn-off online allows emergency responders to focus on actual emergencies, not false alarms. Visit firepermits.vic.gov.au to register.
