IN AN EMERGENCY DIAL 000

2009 Fires

The Eltham Fire Brigade joins with all Victorians and the world wide community in expressing our sincerest condolences to the communities of bushfire ravaged Victoria, and will continute to support those communities in any way possible. If you wish to donate to the Bushfire Appeal, please visit the Red Cross web site at: http://www.redcross.org.au/ and be patient as the high number of visits to the site has impacted server performance.

Information on the Victorian fires can be found at the CFA website (http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au) or by phone to 1800 240 667.

The Eltham Fire Brigade has been serving the local community of Eltham since 1930. The brigade is staffed full time by qualified Fire Officers and Fire Fighters, and community volunteers who are trained in a variety of competencies, enabling them to take part in all urban and rural fire fighting tasks.

If you have an interest in finding out more about the brigade, or the services the brigade offers including Fire Equipment Maintenance (FEM) and community information, please contact the brigade below.

Volunteer Recruitment
Currently the Eltham Fire Brigade is not actively recruiting, and there is an extended waiting list. If you are considering joining the CFA, one of our neighbouring brigades may well be in a position to assist.

Fire Ready Victoria

Each summer CFA takes it to the streets with a community safety education program targeted to residents in high fire risk areas across Victoria.

Interactive community meetings in local halls and street corners meetings are planned across the State with the aim of raising people's awareness of their bushfire risk, and to work with residents to turn awareness into action.
