National AusAlert Test – Monday 27 July 2026 🚨

On Monday 27 July 2026 at 2:00 pm (AEST), Australia will conduct a national test of the new AusAlert emergency warning system.

If you receive an emergency alert at that time, don't be alarmed — it is only a planned test to help Australians become familiar with the new system.

Please note: The current Emergency Alert system will continue to operate throughout the upcoming fire season. AusAlert is being tested ahead of its future rollout and will not replace the existing system this season.

Please help spread the word so everyone knows what to expect.
For more information, visit: www.ausalert.gov.au

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices.

VALE: Ivan Lee

It is with great sadness that we inform you that our brigade's oldest member Ivan Lee passed away yesterday morning, Ivan was 93 years old.

Despite his age Ivan still turned up to meetings and training nights and fascinated the younger members with his stories of the CFA in days gone by

Although Ivan and his wife Margaret moved to Myrtleford last year to be in aged care, he remained a member of our Brigade.

Ivan received his 75 Years of Service award from our brigade in 2024.

Ivan joined the CFA in 1948 at the age of 15, when he became a member of the Myrtleford brigade.

In 2017 Ivan received the Medal of The Order Of Australia (OAM) for services to the CFA.
