If you are wondering how you can help make a difference to your community, then look no further than the Hoppers Crossing CFA.
To help attract more volunteers, the brigade will host an information night on Wednesday 18 March.
The brigade is always open to welcoming new operational firefighters who want to train, respond and support the community when needed.
Operational firefighters attend incidents such as structure fires, grass and scrub fires, alarm activations, and other fire-related emergencies.
All volunteers are provided regular training to maintain skills and safety.
The ideal volunteer is someone who is community minded, reliable and prepared to commit to training and emergency response.
No previous firefighting experience is needed – just a willingness to learn, work as part of a team and respond when available is what matters most.
The team at Hoppers Crossing want people to know that a firefighter’s duty is not just tackling bushfires, but also staying on top of smaller incidents.
Helping protect your local community, building strong friendships within the brigade and gaining skills and confidence while making a real difference when people need help are some of the enjoyable aspects volunteers can expect.
The information session will run 7.30-9pm at Hoppers Crossing Fire Station on 119 Derrimut Road, Werribee. Parking is available across the road at AquaPulse Centre.
