Upwey Fire Brigade activities
Last night (Wednesday 19/6/2024) our members were out at various locations around Upwey practicing deploying hose lines and connecting to a water supply.
This is an important drill we regularly practice so our crews can get water onto a real fire in a timely and efficient way.

Upwey Fire Brigade is conducting a fundraiser with the Dandenong Ranges Community Raffle.
We are looking to raise funds that will go toward replacing some specialist equipment.
One of these is our lighting vehicle equiped with battery powered portable LED lights we use at incidents in our response areas and when called to assist other brigades. The batteries have a use-by-date and are now due to be replaced.
You can help us raise the funds for the new batteries by purchasing a ticket in the Dandenong Ranges Community Raffle. 100% of every ticket sale goes to the brigade and the prizes on offer are fantastic with $25,000 in prizes up for grabs.
The Raffle will be drawn at 11am on 2 May 2024.

From the entire team at Upwey CFA, we want to pass on a very big THANK YOU to everyone who supported the 52nd Annual Jumble Sale.
Despite the prediction of poor weather for the day, the rain and strong winds didn’t arrive but the crowds certainly did and made it a huge success.
It was a hectic first hour for the crew with strong of sales that continued through the entire day. The BBQ was well supported with strong demand for sausages and hamburgers. The hot donuts were a very popular choice.
Planning for the 53rd Jumble Sale 2024 has already begun and we look forward to seeing you then.
Santa will be coming to Upwey on TUESDAY 20th & WEDNESDAY 21st of December 2022.
He will depart the fire station around 6.00pm and tour the Upwey area.
There are some streets he will NOT be visiting. If you live in one of those streets we recommend you walk to the closest corner. You will hear him coming!

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.
Over the last two weeks, members of the Upwey Fire Brigade undertook live fire fighting training sessions using the CFA structure fire training prop.
