Bushfire brigade volunteers play a significant and vital role in helping to ensure their local communities are safe. Volunteer firefighters are trained and equipped to carry out a range of activities including:

• Emergency response to bush and scrub fires.
• Undertaking local fire prevention activities with the community.
• Supporting other emergency service agencies as required.
• Community education and engagement.

Truck drivers need a Medium Rigid (MR) license. Four-wheel drive experience is desired but not necessary as training will be provided.

Volunteering is an opportunity to become an integral part of our fun, hardworking team and offers many benefits such as:

• Ongoing training with experienced trainers.
• Support, guidance and mentoring from experienced brigade members.
• Access to critical incident follow-up, Peer Support Officers, Counselling, and Champlain Services.
• Learning new skills.
• Meeting new people and enjoying the company of like-minded team members.
• Applying your skills in a challenging environment.
• Contributing to the safety of your local community.
• Opportunity to be deployed within the state and further abroad.
