Can we fit through your front gate?
Can we fit down your drive way?
Can we safely turn our at your place?

Check out this great video by Dereel CFA Brigade to see just how much space our trucks actually need for safe property access. An emergency isn't the best time to find out we can't access your property.

Some changes are easy to make like trimming overhead branches, moving driveway edging back a little or putting in a wider gate way.

Help us help you this summer.

Are you burning safely?

Burning off garden waste can be a convenient way to clean up your property. But, it must be done safely. Snake Valley Fire Brigade attends quite few burn offs out of control at this time every year because people don't burn safely. You may not know this but your burn gets away and damages someone else's property or infrastructure because you weren't following the rules you may be charged and have to cover the cost of the damage.

Looking outside today it's hard to imagine the current and increasing bushfire risk. The available dry fuel load in the bush around us is already very high. The grassfire risk will likely be the same in 6 to 8 weeks. The time to plan and prepare is NOW. Snake Valley Fire Brigade is offering FREE Property Advice Visits to help you assess the risk to your property and help make your property safer. We will do our best to offer visits on weekends, weekdays and week nights to make sure everyone has an opportunity to take advantage of this free service. To arrange your visit by trained brigade members please send us a message through this page or email us at [email protected]
Let us help you be Fire Ready this summer.

R U OK?
It's a simple question with an often simple answer. But sometimes it's a not. Sometimes it's a question that could start a really important conversation.
Today is R U OK? day, but lets not wait another year to ask thus important question. Ask a family member, ask a mate, ask someone you care about how they are really doing and make sure they know they support when it's needed. Most importantly make sure you are ok, and if you aren't it's as important to reach out and it is to be asked. It's not always easy bit sometimes it's easier to talk to to a stranger. Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 for the support you need to be ok.

Thank you to the Grenville Group and Linton Fire Brigade for letting us and some of the crew from Skipton Fire Brigade use the CFA training pod at Linton this week.
We’d also like to thank the neighbours for not reporting the strange lights, flames, and firefighters wandering around in the night.
And to everyone who helped make this happen.
