Once again the Merry man is jumping on board our fire truck with his elves 🎅🏻👨🏼‍🚒👩🏼‍🚒 and visiting the young children of the neighbourhood! Make sure to remind the kids that he’s always watching 👀 and he knows if they’ve been naughty 😠 or nice 😁 For more details, visit our Santa Run event page.

Reminder: You are NOT allowed to burn off during the Fire Danger Period The fire restrictions are still in force and this means, you are NOT allowed to burn off in the open air without a permit. Over the past couple of weeks, we have responded to numerous calls where residents are burning off during the FDP (Fire Danger Period). CFA declares the end of the FDP for each municipality (shire or council) at different times depending on the amount of rain, grassland curing rate and other local conditions. The Fire Danger Period for Casey and Frankston will end on 1st…

On Monday 24th April, Pearcedale Fire Brigade hosted a training exercise with neighbouring brigades from Casey and Westernport groups.

The residents were very supportive and many came out to watch as…

The VFBV State Rural Championships were held in Wodonga on the 1st and 2nd of April 2017. Pearcedale attended with 3 senior teams and a junior team. Our “Pearcedale B” finished 2nd overall in the State for their division, and also came home with a 1st place in the “Low Down Pump and Ladder” event. A great weekend was had by all.

The mobile props are an invaluable tool and there are several different ones available to emulate different environments – a car, a house, a factory. The props are installed at different venues around the state, allowing even the most rural brigades to experience live fire training without having to travel for hours to their…
