The Upwey Fire Brigade volunteers provide a range of community support services to help make our community a safer place for everyone.
Each year our volunteers organise information sessions called Bushfire Community Meeting. (formerly held as our Summer Street Corner Meetings)
These are fairly informal sessions that take about an hour and are a free service to all members of the community. They provide you with important information and tips about how to be “fire ready” for the upcoming fire season.
Every season is different so even if you have attended a meeting before, it’s important to attend one every year.
These meetings are a good opportunity to share views and experiences on managing fire risk, and make contacts or pool resources.
Details on date and location appear on this site and our FaceBook page.
Property Advice Visit Service (PAVS) is an awareness-raising program delivered by trained volunteer brigade members to residents living in homes situated in locations identified as being at the highest risk of bushfire.
PAVS is a free service that typically involves a 15- 20 minute meeting at your property. You will receive publications, planning templates, information about your local risk and preparing for fire.
Upwey Volunteer Fire Brigade is a participating brigade in the CFA smoke alarm installation program.
This is a free service available to disdvantaged residents in the local area who do not have a working smoke alarm in their residence or are unable to install one.
Please contact us for more information.
