Whatโ€™s something that helps boost your mental health? ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ

For our crews across WA, sometimes it looks a little like thisโ€ฆ ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

A bit of time out, a few questionable yoga poses and a good laugh with your mates.

Sometimes itโ€™s the simple things that can make all the difference ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿš’ Wondering where that smoke is coming from?

Weโ€™re seeing a lot of Facebook posts asking โ€œWhere is the fire?โ€ with the start of fire season and prescribed burning underway across WA.

Did you know you can check prescribed burns and burn-offs yourself on EmergencyWA?

๐Ÿ”Ž Hereโ€™s how:

1๏ธโƒฃ Go to EmergencyWA
2๏ธโƒฃ Select โ€œWarnings and incidentsโ€
3๏ธโƒฃ Click โ€œFiltersโ€
4๏ธโƒฃ Under incidents, select โ€œPrescribed Burns/Burn Offsโ€
5๏ธโƒฃ You can then view them on the map or list, including their location.

๐Ÿ“ Tip: Check the map around your local area to see if there are any planned burns nearby.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Remember: Not all smoke will be from a prescribed burn. If you see a fire and canโ€™t confirm what it is, or you believe it may be out of control, donโ€™t assume itโ€™s a burn-off โ€” call 000.

A quick check of EmergencyWA can often answer that โ€œWhereโ€™s the fire?โ€ question before it turns into a Facebook mystery! ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿš’ Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

๐Ÿ’œ BRIGADE NOTICE: A VERY SERIOUS PPE SITUATION ๐Ÿ’œ

With the Fremantle Dockers โš“๏ธ making it to the AFL Grand Final, weโ€™ve decided itโ€™s only right that our PPE gets into the spirit of the occasionโ€ฆ

So, for a very limited time, you may notice a little more purple around the station! ๐Ÿ’œ

But before anyone gets too excited:

๐Ÿš’ The trucks are still white.
๐Ÿ“Ÿ BART is still on.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Our training is still serious.
๐Ÿšจ And yes โ€” we will STILL attend call-outs!

No matter what happens on Grand Final day, our commitment to our community remains unchanged.

Weโ€™ll be ready to respond when BART goes off โ€” even if weโ€™re secretly hoping the next call comes through after the final siren. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Stay safe, enjoy the footy andโ€ฆ GO DOCKERS! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ†

PPE colour change is temporary. Our emergency response commitment is not.
