Today we recognise those who's duty it is to run towards danger when others are told to leave.

On International Firefighter Day, we thank our incredible CFA members and all of those who protect communities in times of crisis and every day in between.

Your courage, commitment and care don't go unnoticed.

At 3pm today, we responded along with Seville Rural Fire Brigade (CFA) to a grass fire on Holden Rd, Silvan, caused by an escaped burnoff. This is a crucial reminder to always monitor your burnoffs and ensure you have enough water onsite to control any fires.

Remember, you can register your burnoff at

Stay safe and vigilant!

🔥Planned Burn Notification🔥

Monbulk and surrounding suburbs may see or smell smoke from the ignition of a CFA planned burn in the next few days.

If weather and site conditions remain suitable, CFA firefighters will ignite the following planned burn:
Monbulk –Mountain District Christian School (1.45 hectares)

This planned burn is being undertaken to reduce the impact of bushfire to Mountain District Christian School (now known as CIRE Community School).

Firefighters and emergency service vehicles will be operating in the area while the burn is completed.

We acknowledge this planned burn is occurring over the Easter long weekend; however, we are guided by suitable weather conditions and operational requirements and need to take the opportunities when weather conditions permit. Conducting burns when conditions are right is critical to ensuring they can be carried out safely and effectively.

To find out when and where planned burns are happening near you, go to or sign up at www.vic.gov.au/plannedburns or call 1800 226 226 or visit the VicEmergency Website or download the VicEmergency App.
