🚒🚒🚒We have some exciting news!!! 🚒🚒🚒

You may have seen this appliance getting around Traralgon for a while now, we’ve been training and learning.

And we are happy to announce that Traralgon East Tanker 2 is now officially operational!

While at this time we will focus on using this as a tanker that carries 8000l of water in the near future it will be able to operate it’s Compressed Air Foam System or CAFS for short but more to come on that in the future!

In the interim we are proud to have this appliance in our fleet and service the community.

🌟 Tonight is the night!

🕑 Clocks will move forward one hour at 2 am to kick off daylight saving time.

We know most devices automatically adjust but some clocks, like those in your kitchen appliances, wall clocks, or car, may need to be manually changed.

While you're at it, be sure to check your smoke alarm batteries. To do this, press and hold the test button until the smoke alarm beeps three times.

If your alarm doesn’t beep three times, it needs new batteries or replacement.

Today we mark National Police Remembrance Day, a time to pause and honour those who have given their lives in the line of duty.

We remember their service and recognise the impact of their loss on their families, friends and colleagues.

We are incredibly proud to work alongside our police colleagues every single day, and we acknowledge their commitment and courage as they protect our communities.

Last night (26/9) at 9pm our brigade was paged to support Fire Rescue Victoria at a reported unit fire in Traralgon.

On arrival our members donned breathing apparatus and safely extracted residents from an adjoining unit.

Crews then assisted with an internal firefight, with CFA and FRV crews working together extinguish the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, and thankfully no one was harmed.

Our thoughts today are with NSW Police Force after the tragic loss of one of their officers overnight.

The emergency services family is not limited to borders. We stand with all of our brothers and sisters in blue in this difficult time.
