Toomuc Fire Brigade - CFA

16/05/2026

We are up and running at Bunnings Pakenham with snags and drinks ready to go. It might be a bit damp outside but it is warm and we have shelter set up so you won't get wet. We are looking forward to seeing you down here.

Our members will be at Bunnings Pakenham tomorrow from 9 o'clock cooking up a storm.
We hope you can all come down, grab a snag or 2 to support our little brigade and meet some of your local volunteer Fire Fighters.

Last night we trained a little differently.

We had Dan from CFA's Vegetation Management bring the 'sim table' to our station for the night.

We were able to project our response area over the walnut husk base (like sand), which showed all the hills and valleys. We then simulated a large fire in one of our high risk areas, and let our members run the job by turning out trucks, aircraft and other emergency agencies.

The Sim table accurately simulated the fires growth based on temperature, wind, topography and fuel loading.

It really showed us how incidents could turn out on any given day!
