Will our truck fit down your street if there's an emergency? 🚒🚨

Our trucks require a minimum of 4 (four) metres to safely navigate through streets, and cars parked on both sides of a narrow street can stop us getting to you in an emergency.

Does your street meet the criteria? Let us know a street of concern and we'll add it to our list to check. 🚒📏

The first heroes many of us look up to are called Dad. ❤️

Today we're celebrating the dads and father figures who answer the call, support their families, and inspire the next generation.

From first fire truck rides to years of service, firefighter dads help shape the next generation through their dedication, community spirit and love for family.

Whether it's sharing a love of firefighting, serving the community, or simply leading by example, the impact of a great dad lasts a lifetime.

To all the firefighter dads, stepdads, grandads and father figures in our brigade and community, thank you for everything you do.

🚒 Happy Father's Day from Sunbury Fire Brigade.

👨🏻‍🚒👩🏻‍🚒Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb preparation is INTENSIFYING! 🧯🪓

With only 8 days to go until the big day, our members have been busy putting their bodies through arduous training!

🏋️ Jason and Georgia felt the heat with an early morning intensive 45 minute cardio summit training session in full PPC at BFT Sunbury! See their workout in the comment section!🔥💪🏼

🏃Jeff and Andrea spent this afternoon climbing stairs in full PPC with Jeff completing 54 floors at Sunbury’s multi-storey carpark wearing a 20kg weighted vest, and Andrea completing 1014 steps wearing a 12kg weighted vest at the Darley stairs! 🌳

💪🏼 Sven and Jake have been ramping up their work outs at their respective gyms (with no time for work out photos, so cfa training photos instead! 📸). Sven has been heavily utilising the stair climber at Advance Fitness Sunbury, while Jake has been focusing on weights to build muscle and endurance! 🏋️

Great work to all of our members who are participating in this year’s stair climb!

There's still time to donate to this important cause! Funds raised go to supporting Lifeline, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, and 000 Foundation ✨

Where did August go? 🫣 During the month, our brigade’s training nights consisted of:

🦺 community safety theory
🌳 a refresher on hazardous trees
🫁 learning new procedures for the Breathing Apparatus’
🚶‍♂️ marching practice for Whittlesea’s torchlight parade (which our Juniors nailed 💁🏻‍♀️)
💧a simulated draughting exercise (water extraction from open bodies of water).

Our new training General Firefighters were in good hands learning from Frank, Graham and JR! 👨🏻‍🚒

As well as training, some members extended their knowledge with a visit to the Triple Zero Victoria communication centre in Tally Ho (Burwood East) 📞 They learnt the end-to-end process of a triple zero call - all the way from the public calling, to our brigade paged to respond to the incident and finally resolve it. We also visited some very excited children (and educators!) at some local schools. 🚒

While we bid farewell to Melbourne’s bitter winter weather ❄️ and look forward to some sunnier days, our crews have already begun preparing for this year’s fire season - so you may see us around the place practicing some drills
🚒

Now is not only a great time for us to prepare. You should consider reviewing your fire plan and preparing your property for the fire season. We'll be sharing some more information on this in the coming weeks.

Can you pick the fire dangers in this nursery?
Many of the everyday items we put in our bedrooms - young children included - can pose a fire risk to you and your littlest ones.

Check electrical items, don't overload power boards, have working smoke alarms and keep items that can be a risk away from the little hands in your house.

Find out more at: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/fires-in-the-home/early-fire-safe-program

Young children aged between 0-4 are at high risk of home fire fatalities, burn and scald injuries due to fires, and fire play in the home. CFA and FRV recommend that you put smoke alarms in all sleeping areas, especially the areas of one of our most high risk age groups, children under the age of 10.

If you have young children or close the door for them to sleep, make sure to put smoke alarms in to them and check regularly that they are working.

Our senior and junior brigades combined to participate in the Whittlesea Torchlight Parade last night 🔥 🔦

The torchlight commemorated the centenary of Whittlesea Fire Brigade (1926-2026), celebrating the brigade's incredible achievements over the last century and its ongoing dedication to the local community. 💯

Sunbury was one of 15 brigades who participated, along with several junior brigades 👨🏻‍🚒👩🏻‍🚒

It was an amazing night for everyone involved, and we are incredibly proud of our senior and junior members who represented us so well. All their training paid off, with our juniors awarded second place 🥈

Well done to everyone who took part! 👏
