🚒 WE ARE RECRUITING VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS 🚒

Have you ever wanted to give back to your community, learn valuable life skills, and be part of an incredible team?

We are currently seeking Expressions of Interest from community members who would like to join our brigade as Volunteer Firefighters.

✅ Requirements:
• Must be able to obtain a Blue Card
• Be over 16 years of age
• Driver’s licence not required, but highly desirable
• Available to attend training every Tuesday night from 7:00pm – 9:00pm (and yes, we give you Christmas off 😝)

🔥 What We Provide:
• Fully accredited firefighting training
• Full PPE and brigade uniform
• A family-friendly team environment

All positions are volunteer-based and come with no mandatory commitments outside of Tuesday night training. Your availability for emergency response is entirely flexible – you respond when you are available.

As a volunteer firefighter, you will attend a wide variety of emergency incidents and become part of an amazing community network.

Interested in applying?

Please submit your Expression of Interest in writing to the First Officer:

Applicants will then be invited to attend an information and open night to learn more about the role.

This is a rare opportunity for a large intake into a very active and busy fire brigade.

🔥 Planning on burning off around your property?

Before you light up, make sure you call the FireCom Burn Line on 1800 689 958 to register your burn.

Even small, well-managed fires can produce smoke that may cause concerned neighbours to call 000. By notifying FireCom beforehand, emergency services can confirm the burn is controlled and avoid unnecessary callouts.

Registering your burn helps:
✅ Prevent unnecessary emergency responses
✅ Keep local crews available for genuine incidents
✅ Reduce disruption to the community

⚠️ Reminder:
This process only applies to burns *under 2 metres* in size.

Any fire larger than 2 metres requires a Permit to Light Fire from your local Fire Warden before lighting up, go to our website to learn more: bvrfb.org.au/fire-permit

Take a few minutes, follow the right process, and help keep our community safe.
