Founded in 1967, the Midway Point-Sorell Volunteer Fire Brigade is a retained brigade of the Tasmania Fire Service, supporting the communities of Midway Point, Penna, Sorell, as well as a support response to our neighbouring communities of Cambridge, Dodges Ferry, Orielton, Wattle Hill, and further abroad as needed. Our brigade is crewed completely by volunteers of all ages and genders, providing
around-the-clock fire protection for the area and is active in firefighting and supporting the local community. In addition to residential and light industrial properties, the area includes facilities such as primary and secondary schools; trade training facility; nursing home; industrial processing and manufacturing plants; two shopping complexes; and is fringed on all sides with rural properties. Our brigade responds to a variety of incidents including, but not restricted to: automatic fire alarms; motor vehicle crashes; HAZMAT; and structure fires; as well as vegetation fires, not only in the local area, but other districts and regions throughout Tasmania and Australia. The brigade also provides assistance to other emergency services and the community as required. Our brigade is always on the lookout for new members that live in-area; if you’re interested feel free to message the page for further information.
