This is the Ballandean fire crew who are finishing up their current tasking this morning. Made up of S.A. CFS, A.C.T. Parks, and our W.A. crews.
Half of this team is being redeployed north and the other half south to assist with other fires.
Kalamunda is part of the North crew with Wanneroo, Bedfordale, Two Rocks and East Gidgegannup.
Great job to all crews.
Absolutely brilliant
Well done and thank you

Fire fighters from Kalamunda Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade join a contingent of 33 fire fighters from W.A. on deployment to Queensland. Crews will assist with the devastating fires across the state over the next week.
Our heartfelt support goes out to those affected by these fires and also to the families back home. Good luck to all involved in responding to this emergency and we look forward to seeing you all back next week.

We are currently doing a hazard reduction burn on BROADWAY RD in BICKLEY.
We will be on scene until late evening.
Michelle Galbraith lots of smoke?
For the second year in a row the rain forest is burning in Queensland, but this time it is in early September. Unfortunately, as a result of climate change, this is becoming the new normal. There is no doubt that climate change is heavily impacting the bushfire season and the impact that fires have. In Western Australia the summer fire season is two months longer and we now have 15% more severe fire weather days (ie days when the Fire Danger Index is Very High or above) than we did in 1990.
'This is an omen': Queensland firefighters battle worst start to season on record
More than 50 bushfires are burning with the most dangerous in the Gold Coast hinterland destroying the Binna Burra LodgeAnd you wouldn't believe the amount of global warming deniers
The fact that the fuel load is massive and the state gvt that owns the majority of the land won't maintain its risk is the prime driver. We have had rainforest burn at this time of year repeatedly in the past, so that's not new, we get crazy westerly winds at this time of year, sp that's not new. What has been building up is the fuel. And it's a big state and there is a heap of crown land out there that is ready to burn. Just saying climate change is a simplistic jingo to a multi level problem.
And we can’t get our State Government to declare a Climate Emergency for fear of angering the oil and gas industry🤬
I was there last week for work....not looking good.
Tough times ahead.
One NSW RFS firefighter suffered burns to his hands and face whilst attending the fires in Tenterfield yesterday.

Information is a bit light on at the moment, but he has been airlifted to hospital.
Our thoughts are with him, his family and all the crews involved. If anyone is aware of any form of donation drive to assist him, please get in touch with us.

Very early in the season, but the result of dry conditions, long term drought, and extremely high winds. Our thoughts are with the injured volunteer firefighter.
Live: Two more homes destroyed in northern NSW, firefighter in hospital
Firefighters are working against out-of-control blazes across two states, with properties destroyed in Queensland and New South Wales. Follow our live coverage.Worse over east but still a heightened risk in parts of WA as well

Much of the country faces a higher than average bushfires threat because of warm and dry conditions and low rainfall
