Older residents of country Victorian towns will remember the fire bell as the means to summon fire fighters in the event of fire. Kyneton Fire Brigade recently mounted its historic fire bell, cast in Castlemaine in 1855, on a display stand similar to its original mounting, at the front of the Fire Station in Ebden Street.

But what of its successor, the fire siren? Of recent times we have been asked why the siren doesn’t always sound with every call as it did in the past. The answer lies in the development of modern communication technology.

Residents are Urged to Plan Burnoffs Carefully and Notify VicFire of Planned Burns

With the onset of cooler weather and some rain, many residents and property occupants are carrying out burning of rubbish and pasture and making fuel reduction burns on rural properties. This note is to remind all residents of the need to plan safely for burns, to meet the necessary requirements of local and State legislation and to notify CFA of burns that may come to the attention of the fire services.

 

Please Remember that Fires Can Still be Dangerous Even in the Autumn & Winter Months
