AFAC News has released the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Spring. The outlook suggests an earlier start to the bushfire season this year. Drought-affected areas in parts of eastern and western Victoria are facing an increased bushfire risk leading into spring and summer.

Under the forecast conditions, there is potential for multiple large fires starting as early as October across parts of the state.

Now is a great time to start preparing your plan and property, including:
📋 Updating your fire plan
🌱 Mowing long grass
🏡 Clearing gutters.

CLIMB CREW NEEDED | MFSC26

One huge day — and we can’t do it without our Climb Crew.

Our Climb Crew are the people who keep the event moving, support our climbers and help make the day possible.

There are a range of roles available, including:

• Finish Line & Rehabilitation Crew
• Registration Crew
• Stairwell Crew
• Runners / Floating Crew
• Breathing Apparatus Transport
• Ushers & Crowd Control
• Breathing Apparatus Service Crew
• Photographers
• Live Stream Camera Operators

Whether you’re cheering climbers through the stairwell, helping exhausted firefighters at the finish line, moving and servicing BA sets, registering competitors or working behind the scenes — there’s a place for you on the team.

You don’t need to be a firefighter to be part of the Climb Crew, and you can nominate the roles that interest you when registering. Relevant BA and First Aid qualifications are also considered when allocating roles.

Volunteers can also nominate their availability for Friday setup and pre-registration, Saturday event operations and Saturday pack-up.

They’re doing the climbing.
We need you to help get them to the top.

Register your interest to join the MFSC26 Climb Crew

GROUP TRAINING EXERCISE – Sarsfield Rec Reserve 🔥

Today our brigade joined fellow CFA members for a great Group Training Exercise at Sarsfield Recreation Reserve!

It was a busy day of practical training, putting our skills and teamwork to the test across a range of scenarios, including:

Grass & scrub fire – practising fire attack techniques, crew coordination and working safely in challenging conditions.

Draughting & relay operations – working on water supply from a collar tank, draughting and relaying water through multiple trucks to maintain an effective firefighting operation. Also utilising the new Tambo/Mitchell group pumping trailer! 

Car accident talk-through – stepping through an incident scenario, discussing crew roles, scene management, hazards, communications and the considerations involved when responding to a road crash.

A great opportunity to train alongside other crews, build confidence and strengthen our teamwork so we’re ready to respond when our community needs us!

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make today’s training a success!!! 🚒

Kitchen Fire Safety Starts With You 🔥

Did you know that most kitchen fires start because cooking is left unattended?

A few simple habits can make a big difference in keeping your home and family safe:

• Stay with your cooking – never leave the stovetop unattended.
• Keep your cooktop clean by removing grease and oil build-up.
• Keep tea towels, paper towels and other flammable items away from heat.
• Keep children away from hot appliances and cooking areas.

If a small cooking fire starts:
• Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so.
• Never use water on a fat or oil fire.
• If the fire can’t be controlled quickly and safely, get everyone out, close the door behind you and call 000 immediately.

Simple actions every day can help prevent a devastating kitchen fire.
