Congratulations to both of our fire fighters Kris & Hamish on their efforts on the stairs of Crown in Melbourne this morning! 💪👏
Hamish finished in 5mins, 18secs on air with Kris finishing in 7mins, 12secs also on air.

Congratulations again, you've both raised an amazing amount of money for those amazing charities and earned a well deserved break! We'll see you both back at the brigade soon 👍🚒

Hi all,

Stairclimb in LESS THAN 60 HOURS!!

Last weekend, our firefighters Kris and Hamish tested their strength at Wrest Point climbing the tower stairs in preparation for this Saturday in Melbourne! These two firefighters will be heading off to Melbourne to compete in the annual Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb 2026!

We're asking our community for one final push if they could help our two firefighters up those stairs and help donate to some incredible organizations who help us, Lifeline, 000 Foundation and Peter Mac, help us fight cancer, depression and su***de.
So far, between them, the TFS Rokeby team have raised $2250, with an Australian wide target of $1M and the whole team is so close with less than 60 hours to go... one final push towards an incredible $1M!

Anything you can spare helps! If you would like to donate to the TFS Rokeby team on this link: https://www.firefighterclimb.org.au/station/tfs/rokeby/

Or if you would like to donate directly too our firefighters, Kris or Hamish individually below:
