The past few years we have decorated our station to bring some Christmas cheer to our community.
This year we are excited to share our contribution to Light Up Upwey with our Fire Station Gingerbread house.
Special thanks to Bunnings Scoresby for helping out with some donations that helped make the station look fantastic this year.

Wednesday night (16/11/2022) we did practical training on our new quicklay attack packs.
The kits carry all the equipment we need for the rapid deployment of a hose line for a fire attack inside a large building such as the Angliss Hospital, Schools or Burrinja Cultural Centre.
While this is the main purpose of the kits they offer our firefighters different methods of fire attacks at most fires we go to.
The purchase of this kit was made possible due to the wonderful community support we receive. Thank you.
