# Join Today

Discover the rewards of joining a volunteer fire brigade. Every brigade thrives on its members — the backbone of our community. Whether you can spare a little time or a lot, your skills and dedication are invaluable. Regardless of age, gender, or physical ability you’ll be welcomed and needed.

## Why Join?

Joining offers a challenging and rewarding experience. Learn how to protect your home and family in a bush fire. Gain skills in firefighting, leadership, emergency driving, and first aid — skills and qualifications that are not just valuable in emergencies, but also in your everyday life and workplace.

## How to Get Involved

Becoming a member is easy. Contact us or visit us at Sawyers Valley Bush Fire Station on Saturday mornings at 9:30am. Meet our team, explore our equipment, and learn more about what we do.

## Training Opportunities
