🔥 Fuel Reduction Burn – Old Stanley Road 🔥

Wodonga Fire Brigade recently assisted with a planned fuel reduction burn along Old Stanley Road, an important secondary evacuation route for the Stanley community.

The burn covered approximately 800m–1km in length and 20m in width. Crews spent Friday establishing control lines before completing ignition on Saturday using spot‑lighting techniques, with weather conditions monitored throughout to ensure a safe and effective operation.

A strong effort alongside crews from Tawonga, Yackandandah, Beechworth, Beechworth Rural, Woragee, Castlemaine, Girgarre, Wodonga West, Stanley, Toolamba, Kergunyah, and District 24 Vegetation Management. 👏🔥

🔥🚗 Mobile Training Car Prop

This week, our members had the opportunity to train using the CFA Mobile Training Car Prop. An incredible resource that brings realistic firefighting scenarios to life in a safe and controlled environment.

From reinforcing core skills to putting newly gained qualifications into action, it was a valuable hands on experience for everyone involved.
Nights like these are where confidence is built, skills are sharpened, and teamwork truly shines.

An awesome evening all around.
