Today we celebrated a very special member of the Echuca Fire Brigade by naming our FCV in honour of Ron Hooper.

Ron has been a dedicated member of our brigade for nearly 70 years, holding various positions and contributing countless hours of service to our brigade and the Echuca community throughout that time.
While Ron may have retired and no longer jumps in the fire trucks, you can still find him around the station at almost any given time making sure things are getting done, and sharing his knowledge and experience with the next generation of members.

Ron, congratulations on this well-deserved honour. Thank you for nearly 70 years of dedication, commitment and service to the Echuca Fire Brigade. We are incredibly lucky to have you as part of our brigade family. 💚🤍🚒

Smoke alarms can only save your life when they’re correctly fitted and have a working battery.
Covering them with a shower cap or removing the battery is not a good idea.
Check out this post from Fire and Rescue NSW where a smoke alarm was recently found like this inside a house fire.

On this chilly Sunday morning, take a few minutes and check your smoke alarms.
Do they work?
Do you have enough fitted in your home?
Do you have a home fire escape plan?
