APRIL WHATS NEWS ARTICLE It has been a busy start of the year for the brigade with new firefighters, training courses, several high-resource incidents, and the juniors starting back. We have four new firefighters who completed their general firefighting training and have joined us on the truck! Other firefighters have completed competencies in advanced 4-wheel driving, and other training including visits to the Pretty Sally Fire Tower, and training with Wallan Fire Brigade and the SES. Wandong Fire Brigade has attended several large fires including those at Beveridge, Willowmavin, Donnybrook and Heathcote Junction, and the Broadford Paper Mill. We have been called to a number of motor vehicle accidents and rescues on the Hume Freeway and up Mt Dissa, in addition to washaways and diesel spills on the Hume Freeway. The Wandong Fire Brigade juniors have started back strong: training in hose bowling, tanker tactics, 5-person fog attack, and burn-over drills. The juniors had their elections recently with Jessica being voted in Junior Captain, and Harry as Junior Lieutenant. Good Friday Appeal. 18th April 2025. The Brigade is preparing for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. This will be our 49th year of collecting for this worthy cause! We will be in the main street opposite the Wandong train station. Please drop by with your coins and say hi. Change your Clock. Check your Smoke Alarms. Daylight Savings ended on Sunday 6th April, and it is the perfect reminder each year to check your smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be tested monthly, dusted/vacuumed annually, and replaced every 10 years. 10-year lithium battery smoke alarms are now available. If you have a 9-volt smoke alarm, this is the time to replace the battery. After 10 years every smoke alarm should be replaced, regardless of the type. Remember, Only Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives. Wandong Fire Brigade offers a service to vulnerable community members to install 10-year lithium battery smoke alarms. If you, or someone you know, could benefit please contact Yvette on 0417545228.
