At our recent brigade meeting, our 2nd Lieutenant Steph had the privilege of presenting Mr Barrie Connor with his 20 Years of Service Medal.
Barrie was unable to attend the official service medal presentation held previously, so it was a great honour for Steph to present this well-deserved award on behalf of the brigade.
Congratulations, Barrie, and thank you for your outstanding 20 years of dedicated service to the Cobram Fire Brigade.
This award recognises the dedication, professionalism and commitment of members who continue to make a positive difference within our brigade and the wider community. Your service is truly appreciated.

❤️ THANK YOU The Grand Central Hotel Cobram ❤️

The members of the Cobram Fire Brigade would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Grand Central Hotel for their incredible generosity and support of our brigade.

Through their Thursday Night Raffles, the Grand Central Hotel has raised an amazing $3,100 in support of our volunteers and the work we do serving the Cobram community.

Contributions such as this make a real and meaningful difference.

Community spirit is at the heart of everything we do, and we are incredibly fortunate to have businesses like the Grand Central Hotel standing beside their local volunteers.

To Shannon and all the staff who run the weekly raffle, and every person who purchased a raffle ticket on a Thursday night – thank you. Your generosity and support are truly appreciated by every member of our brigade.

Thank you

– Cobram Fire Brigade

🚒❤️ **Thank a First Responder Day** ❤️🚒

Today is Thank a First Responder Day, and we would like to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible volunteers of the Cobram Fire Brigade.

Our members give their time freely to protect and support our community, often leaving their families, workplaces, and personal commitments at a moment's notice to respond when help is needed. Whether it's fighting fires, attending road accidents, assisting with medical emergencies, supporting community events, or helping our neighbours during times of need, our volunteers are always ready to answer the call.

Being a volunteer first responder requires dedication, commitment, training, and sacrifice. It is not always easy, but our members continue to serve with professionalism, compassion, and pride.

Thank you to every member of the Cobram Fire Brigade for the outstanding work you do. Your commitment makes a real difference, and our community is safer because of you.

If you see a first responder today, take a moment to say thank you. A few simple words can mean a lot.

We would love to thank the wonderful team at Cobram TOYOTA for loaning us their all new electic car for our training this week.
Members from Cobram Fire Brigade - CFA , Yarroweyah CFA, Muckatah CFA, and Strathmerton CFA got together to have some training and awareness on electric vehicles.
Members were able to see the safety features, hear how silent the car is in person and gain more knowledge on what to do if we come across them on the job.
If you are looking at buying an electric vehicle see the team at cobram Toyota :)

Today we celebrate all the incredible mums of the Cobram Fire Brigade. ❤️

To the mums who respond to pagers at all hours, support their families while serving the community, volunteer countless hours, and still somehow manage to keep everything running at home — thank you.

We also acknowledge the partners, wives, grandmothers, and mother figures who support our members behind the scenes. Your patience, understanding, and sacrifice never go unnoticed.

Our brigade is stronger because of the amazing women who give so much to both their families and our community. Whether you are on the truck, helping at community events, fundraising, supporting from home, or simply always there when needed — today we celebrate you.

From all of us at the Cobram Fire Brigade, we wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day and hope you enjoy a well-deserved day surrounded by family, love, and appreciation.
