This year's Emergency Services Levy budget will see the release of funding to assist with the build a new fire station for Sawyers Valley Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade. The plan is to build a new three bay station on the brigade's Ashtead St block.

The brigade has already undertaken significant work to prepare the site for construction including power, water and telephone facilities.

 

The brigade would like the thank the work done by the shire in the submission of the ESL application and to the tireless efforts of our brigade members.

Changes to the system used for Fire Weather Warnings and Forecasts are planned to occur soon.

The volunteer fire brigades in the Mundaring Shire will be conducting a recuitment drive on the 17th of October. Members from these brigades will be providing information about volunteer brigade activities in the shire and the ever-present need for fresh members.

Sawyers Valley Brigade has agreed to provide members for the whole day. Brigade members who are interested in helping out with the recruitment drive should contact Delphine or Patrick.

Anyone interested in joining a volunteer fire brigade in the Mundaring Shire can contact Sawyers Valley Brigade or visit Volunteer.bfb.asn.au.

Ground work has nearly been completed on the site for the new station.

Thanks to all concerned.
