🚨🚨HAZARD REDUCTION BURN 🚨🚨

A planned hazard reduction burn will be taking place this Thursday, 17 September, in the bushland behind Armadale Hospital.

There also will be multiple burns in this area in the coming weeks.

Smoke will be visible around Armadale and surrounding areas.

Residents in the immediate vicinity may wish to avoid drying clothes outside and keep pets indoors where possible while smoke is in the area.

Crews will be working in the area throughout the day.

Thanks for your understanding while we carry out these important bushfire mitigation works.

💛 R U OK? Day 💛

Today is a reminder that sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply check in with each other.

In the emergency services, we spend a lot of time looking out for our community, but it’s just as important that we look out for the people standing beside us.

You don’t need to be an expert to ask, “R U OK?” A genuine conversation, a coffee, or simply taking the time to listen can make a real difference.

At Armadale VFRS, we’re proud to be a team that looks out for one another, both on and off the fireground.

Ask R U OK?
Listen
Encourage action
Check in

A conversation can change a life.

And remember, you don’t have to wait for R U OK? Day to start the conversation. 💛

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Life Member, Geoff Landwehr AFSM.

Geoff began his volunteer firefighting journey at just 17 years of age in 1955, dedicating an extraordinary 71 years of service to the Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service, including 51 years with the Armadale Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service. His remarkable commitment made him one of Western Australia’s longest-serving volunteer firefighters.

Geoff was also well known and respected throughout the fire brigade running competition community.

Geoff’s dedication, friendship, and mentorship have left a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire generations of firefighters.

Our heartfelt condolences are with Geoff’s family John, Kevin and his loved ones during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Geoff Landwehr AFSM. Thank you for your extraordinary service. You will never be forgotten.

🐾 The other day, we had the pleasure of welcoming Greyhounds As Pets WA to Armadale Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service for a visit to the station and a chat about emergency preparedness for pets.

It was great to meet some of their beautiful greyhounds while discussing the importance of having an emergency plan that includes every member of the family, including our four-legged friends! 🐶🚒

A big thank you to Greyhounds As Pets WA for taking the time to visit us. We really enjoyed having you all at the station and hope to see you again in the future.

🎥 Be sure to check out the video below for some simple tips on how you can help keep your dog safe during a fire and what you can do to be prepared before an emergency occurs.

This time last week, our team successfully completed their first MSWA Step Up challenge, conquering 1,103 steps in full firefighting gear.

Together, we raised an incredible $5,990 for MSWA.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who donated and supported us,
we truly appreciate your generosity and encouragement. Every contribution made a difference.

A big thank you also to Club Lime Forrestdale for sponsoring our training journey and supporting the team in preparing for the climb.

We all made it to the top (just with slightly sore legs!) and we’ll be back again next year. 👏😅

Hydrant maintenance is an important part of what we do at Armadale Volunteer Fire & Rescue alongside Armadale Career Fire & Rescue, and during maintenance we come across all sorts of things.

Hydrants found buried like this, or blocked by parked vehicles, can cause significant delays in establishing a water supply while crews are fighting fires, especially in industrial areas like this one.

You may also risk receiving a fine if you park within 1 metre of a fire hydrant.

If you have a fire hydrant on your property, do you keep it clear and free from debris?

We rely on everyone to help keep hydrants clear and easily accessible when they’re needed most.

This week, members conducted a Road Crash Rescue (RCR) drill involving vehicles on fire, with structural exposures also at risk.

With wet weather becoming more frequent, the risk of traffic accidents on our roads increases significantly. At the same time, the colder weather and increased use of heating appliances also raise the likelihood of structural fire incidents.

During the scenario, crews were required to implement key operational procedures including Breathing Apparatus operations, pumping operations with a focus on volume over pressure, and general firefighting duties.

The drill provided valuable training in incident control, scene management, radio communications, teamwork, and adapting to complex incidents involving multiple hazards. Great work by all members involved.

In true Armadale VFRS tradition, it has been another busy financial year, with the brigade responding to 240 incidents to date, with 5 of these occurring since Monday.

To all brigade members, and especially your families who support you and allow you to answer the call at all hours of the day and night, thank you. Your support, commitment, and sacrifices do not go unnoticed. We would also like to extend our thanks to our South East Regional Office for their ongoing support.

We’re proud to announce our 2026–2027 leadership team:

• Captain: Nicholas Mason
• Lieutenant: Daniel Houltham
• Apparatus Officer: Malik Counsel
• Apparatus Officer: Hayden McDonald
• Secretary: Esther McDonald

We also took a moment to celebrate some important milestones within the brigade.

Congratulations to Daniel Houltham on receiving his 10 Year Long Service Medal, recognising a decade of dedication and service.

We also had the pleasure of promoting Callum Southam from Probationary Fire Fighter to Active Fire Fighter, a fantastic achievement and a testament to his hard work and commitment.

Congratulations to all, and thank you for your continued dedication to serving the Armadale community.

65 years of service and still going strong.
