A Volunteers work doesn’t finish straight after the incident, our crew were out to a Structural Fire in Bunyip till 4am Friday morning, but that doesn’t mean that the vehicle is left all muddy, well done to the crew that made our Tanker nice and clean again, and ready to respond to the next incident.

📞 Register your burn immediately by phone: 1800 668 511
🌐 For more information or to register online: http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/contact/register-your-burn-off

Before lighting up, always check your local municipal regulations to ensure burn-offs are permitted in your area and that you’re complying with all conditions.

The Longwarry Fire Brigade (CFA) is once again participating in the Good Friday Appeal to raise vital funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH).

Today, Friday, 3 April 2026, marks the 95th anniversary of the Appeal and the 75th year of CFA involvement. You can support the Longwarry team through several channels:

Where to Donate
In-Person (Service Stations): Volunteers are traditionally stationed at the local Longwarry service stations and highway stops to collect "tin rattle" donations.

Online Donations: You can contribute directly via the official Longwarry CFA fundraising page on the Good Friday Appeal website. https://fundraise.goodfridayappeal.com.au/fundraisers/LongwarryDistrictCFA/coll2026

Phone Donations: The Good Friday Appeal phone lines (1300 277 325) are open from 9:00 AM today.

Regional Impact
Regional Victoria is a major contributor to the Appeal, having raised $5.4 million last year alone. In 2026, $3 million of the funds raised will be specifically allocated to support regional healthcare projects, ensuring children in areas like Longwarry have access to high-quality care closer to home.

I'm raising money for a cause close to my heart and would love your support.
