We are assisting Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA with a hazard reduction burn on Cunnold St (bounded by Merrivale Rd, East Rd, Carinyah Rd) today.
Kalamunda Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service, Career Fire and Rescue are also assisting. We will be on site until late in the day.
We were up before dawn attending a fire in Paulls Valley, which kept us busy into the afternoon. Crews have returned to station after attending more fires in Bickley and Orange Grove later today where we returned the favour to City of Gosnells Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade for helping us this morning.
Two recurring themes from today:
* Keep up to date with Total Fire Bans. There are big penalties for lighting up during a Total Fire Ban. Ignorance is not an excuse!
* If you do a burn off, check it regularly. Two fires we attended today were from burn offs from two days ago.
Keep up the good work guys thank you stay safe
Thanks!! Fingers crossed it's a bit quieter for now for you.

RESTRICTED BURNING PERIOD EXTENSION
Due to unseasonal soil dryness, the City of Kalamunda wishes to advise that the restricted burning period has been extended until the 14th of June 2019 (Inclusive).
- Permits are required for burning,
- Burning 1m x 1m x 1m piles is still permitted after 6 pm (Subject to normal restrictions and guidelines)
For further information please visit the City of Kalamunda website - www.kalamunda.wa.gov.au/Services/Ranger/Fire-Emergency
So we can legally burn 1x1m piles without a permit after 6pm currently?

⚠️ Very High Fire Danger Today ⚠️
🚫 Burning and fires in the open air are not permitted (including 1m³, fire pits etc) 🚫
⛔ Permits to burn today are invalid ⛔
Is this still in place? Can’t see any fire ban now per emergency website or have I searched wrong? Is the city of Kalamunda invoking the Ban?

Not much sleep for volunteer crews last night. A suspicious fire shortly after midnight kept crews from Kalamunda Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service and Kalamunda Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade busy until dawn. Just goes to show - it doesn't matter the colour of the uniform, we are one great team working together! 💪👨🏻🚒👩🏼🚒🚒🚒

A big day for the Brigade, with our volunteers providing fire safety information at the Kalamunda Show
Well done crew Great setup 👍😊
As usual job well done guys
Today the Brigade's 2019 Recruit Class completed the very first part of their training, the Introduction to Firefighting course. They still have a way to go to complete probation, but it has now properly started. Congrats to all participants. Shown here are the trainers, recruits and a couple of firefighters from other Brigades, who also completed the course. A great day was had by all and everyone did a great job.
well done to all.
