๐ Weekend Meet the Team: Captain Shane Frogley ๐
This week, weโre proud to introduce Captain Shane Frogley, whose long-standing commitment to the CFA has shaped a lifetime of service and leadership.
With 42 years in the CFA, Shane continues to lead the Inverloch Fire Brigade with experience, calm leadership, and a strong sense of responsibility. For the past 9 years in Inverloch, he has overseen brigade operations, supported the Lieutenant team, and helped ensure the brigade is always prepared to respond when needed.
Shaneโs journey in the CFA spans decades. Before Inverloch, he served around 10 years at Lilydale Brigade, and earlier at Badger Creek, building on a proud family connection to the service. His grandfather and his brothers helped establish the Badger Creek Brigade in the 1930s, and both his father and grandfather also served there. That tradition continues today through his son, who is an active member of the Wonthaggi Brigade.
Alongside the CFA, Shane is also a member of the Inverloch SES, assisting with storm response and marine rescue operations. He is currently working towards his Master up to 3 nautical miles licence, further extending his capability on the water.
Outside of emergency services, Shane works as an electrician. He has been married for 30 years to his wife, who also serves with the Inverloch Fire Brigade. Together they have raised three sons and are now proud grandparents.
When he gets the chance, Shane enjoys spending time out on the water fishingโsomething he has always valued as a way to unwind.
๐ Thank you, Captain Shane Frogley, for your ongoing leadership, commitment, and many years of service to the community.
