WE REMEMBER – BLACK SATURDAY – 7 FEBRUARY

Today marks 17 years since the devastating Black Saturday bushfires of 2009, one of the darkest days in Victoria’s history.

Yallourn North Urban Fire Brigade remembers the 173 lives lost, the families and communities forever changed, and the thousands of homes and livelihoods destroyed. We honour the incredible bravery and dedication of the firefighters, emergency service personnel, and volunteers who stood in the face of unimaginable conditions to protect others.

Black Saturday reshaped the way we prepare for and respond to bushfires. The lessons learned continue to guide our commitment to community safety, preparedness, and resilience.

Today, we pause to reflect, to honour those impacted, and to stand with all who continue to feel the effects of that day.

Together, we remember. 🌿

A big shout out to Latrobe City Council and their 2025/26 Quick Response Grant program which allowed the Brigade to purchase a battery powered blower. This piece of equipment has already been used at a motor vehicle incident allowing firefighters to quickly remove debris from the roadway making it safe for other traffic.

Also we would like to thank TM&H Mitre 10 Moe for there help in purchasing this equipment.

We now have removed all petrol powered equipment from our fire fighting vehicles providing greater safety for our members.

🚒 Crews on the Move 🚒

As one crew returns home last night, another departs today, this morning a further crew of firefighters has set off to support operations at the Tallangatta fires, including FF Reid and FF Atkinson from Yallourn North.

These crews will form part of a taskforce of ultralights and light tankers, providing improved access and capability in remote and hard-to-reach firegrounds.

We extend our sincere appreciation and best wishes to all crews working tirelessly to protect Victorian communities. Stay safe out there. 🔥🚒

🚒 Supporting the Tallangatta Fire Response

Today, 5 members from Yallourn North Fire Brigade, along with crews from across District 27, have departed for Tallangatta to relieve the District 9 crews who have been on the fireground over the past few days.

After a long drive today, crews will commence day shift operations tomorrow on the fireground, supporting ongoing efforts to contain the blaze. The Tallangatta fire has burned approximately 65,574 hectares and is not yet under control.

Our crews are in good hands with the strike team being led by our very own Strike Team Leader, Mark King.

We send our sincere thanks, appreciation and best wishes to all firefighters involved. You are doing an outstanding job representing our communities, stay safe and come home safely. 💛🚒

Tomorrow, an Extreme Fire Danger Rating is forecast with a Total Fire Ban in place across the entire state of Victoria from midnight tonight.

This is a very serious fire weather day.
If a fire starts, it will spread rapidly, be unpredictable and difficult to control.

🔥 What this means:
• Fires can start easily and escalate quickly
• Lives and homes are at significant risk
• Fire and emergency services may not be able to respond to every incident

🚫 Total Fire Ban – NO fires permitted
This includes:
• No burn-offs or campfires
• No fire pits, solid fuel BBQs, smokers or incinerators
• No activities that could cause sparks (grinding, welding, mowing, machinery)

✅ What you should do now:
• Review your fire plan
• Make sure your property is fire-ready
• Avoid unnecessary travel in high-risk areas
• Monitor official warnings and weather updates
• If you live in a high-risk area, leaving early is the safest option

⚠️ Do not wait and see. Decisions made early can save lives.

Please take this seriously and help protect yourself, your family and your community.

Stay informed via official emergency channels and by downloading the VicEmgenency App.
