Community Notice Update! Due to external factors outside the brigades control, the planned roadside burn for this Saturday the 28th has been canceled. The Captain and BMT sincerely thank our members and neighbouring brigades who for putting up crews to assist with the day. We will place another notice here when we're permitted to burn again.

It was great to be able to host the team from the District 5 Headquarters Brigade to demonstrate the rehab support service, what they do, the equipment they have and how it all works. The rehab support is just another example of the diverse roles available to CFA (Country Fire Authority) volunteers. It’s a fantastic resource to have available within the Dundas Group and surrounding districts.

Glad to be of help SES Hamilton Unit. Given the hot and dry weather and the tree being not far from our shed, it was great being able to work together to keep the scene safe.

Yulecart Rural Fire Brigade alongside our colleges from Hamilton Fire Brigade, Victoria Valley, Warrayure and Hensley Park brigades are traveling to Horsham as part of a strike team to assist crews on the ground. Yulecart still have a tanker in the local area with crews ready to respond (although we hope they don’t have to). Please remain aware of the conditions as the day goes on by downloading the VicEmergency app or listing to your local emergency radio broadcaster. Stay safe out there.

The brigade members from Yulecart Rural Fire Brigade would like to pass on their thanks and gratitude for the kind donation of a Chainsaw and supporting accessories (Chaps, Helmet, Sharpening Tool, Jerry Can & Spare Chain) from the volunteers at Boronia Fire Brigade - CFA. Your members alongside those from Scoresby Fire Brigade CFA demonstate the values of CFA and that volunteers do so much more than just attending incidents. Your generosity encompasses what it means to be a volunteer.

What a fantastic night! 🚒🔥

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our CFA Open Day! Around 20 locals stopped by to check out the station, chat with the crew, and learn a bit more about what we do.
It was a beautiful evening, great weather, great company, and lots of smiles all around! 😄

Big shout-out to Mixx889 for helping spread the word through their community notice board — we really appreciate the support! ❤️

If you missed out, don’t worry — we’re always keen to welcome new volunteers! Send us a message to find out how you can get involved. 🙌

The catchup is on the 15th of October from 6pm onwards at the CFA shed located at 6486 Dartmoor-Hamilton Rd, Yulecart VIC 3301. We look forward to seeing you all there.

Yulecart Fire Brigade volunteers were awarded with certificates and service medals to recognise their commitment and effort put in to keeping our wider communities safe.

With the nearest PAID firefighters about 80 kilometres away, when you call 000 for a house, car fire and haystack fire, or your property is threatened by a bush or grass fire, it is well trained volunteer firefights that turn out.
