I can highly recommend becoming a a volunteer. You will be supported by a great team and provided with the best training and equipment. Give it a go
What’s the minimum age requirement?
I've wanted to become a volunteer for years but always at work during this. Is there another way? Feel free to pm me.
Nice work volunteers!๐๐

Saturday in soaring midday temperatures this fast moving bushfire kicked off in the shire of Gingin which kept our crews busy around the clock into early this morning while also maintaining crews and appliances to respond in the City of Wanneroo. Thanks to all our awesome members who assisted and to fellow neighbouring brigades ๐ฅ๐
Since has been downgraded to an advice level. Visit Emergency WA website for all the latest official alerts and warnings.

It may be Christmas but our crews were still up bright and early assisting Two Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade with a scrub fire on Pipidinny Rd this morning.
Not quite the kind of present we thought we would wake up to but rest assured we are ready to turn out to any job over the festive season.
Donโt forget to keep an eye on Emergency WA for any total fire ban advice over the holiday period.
Stay safe and enjoy Christmas Day!๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐๐

Last night we had the opportunity to participate in a snake safety and reptile education session with the very knowledgeable Tessa from Tessaโs Reptile Services.
We come across a variety of wildlife during bushfires and learnt some valuable information on:
โข Safely navigating when coming across a snake
โข Snake behaviour and debunking some common misconceptions
โข Identifying local snake and reptile species
โข How to pick up bobtails when spotted close to or on the fire ground
โข First aid tips for snake bites
A massive thank you to the organisers of this session which all 4 City of Wanneroo brigades got to participate in and a huge thank you to Tessa for all the knowledge and stories you shared.
If you ever come across a snake or reptile in your yard or house, please stay calm and call Tessa to come and help๏ฟผ get your scaly visitor out safely.

It’s wonderful that you care for all creatures after the horrific loss of so many 3 years ago ๐ stay safe all xxx
Love our native wildlife. Thank you for keeping them safe while you conduct your works โบ๏ธ.
That would have been awesome!
Tessa is just absolutely amazing! We had her come for our sons birthday party and all the kids learnt so much, plenty of photos and much more confident around snake safety.
Great work Tessa’s Reptile Services tessa

Update time: 12:27 AM, 14 December 2022.

โ You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes.
โ WHAT TO DO: โ
- If the way is clear, leave now for a safer place.
- Do not wait and see, leaving at the last minute is deadly.
- Close all doors and windows and turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible.
- If you cannot leave, you need to get ready to shelter in your home.
