An early morning start for our crews today, assisting Welshpool 1st #FRS at a fire in #Forrestfield this morning.
Want to get your car washed? You still have a couple of hours to get it up to Kalamunda High School, where the Brigade will wash and vacuum it for you for a very reasonable price - all proceeds go to charity. We have been going since 8am and are washing until 2pm.
Thanks for cleaning my car, hope it was a successful day.
Thanks guys and gals awesome job. Looking forward to the next one
Good afternoon Kalamunda BFB we charge $30 for a wax and buff lol
Got a dirty car that you want clean AND also want to help contribute to a good cause?!? Then bring it to Kalamunda High School tomorrow between 8am and 2pm and we'll clean it for you. I'm taking mine for a wash and it's filthy..
Need freshly sliced onions? Happy to donate from The Onion Lady

The type of hydrants we have mean we would not have to resort to such action. But it's worth remembering that the eastern most hydrant we have is the Pickering Brook Primary School. If access to this hydrant is blocked due to parked cars, it adds precious time for us to fill our tankers in the event of a fire
There is actually one additional hydrant east of the primary school, but we avoid it wherever possible due to the damage it will cause to the crossover and safety with traffic
A fully clean and serviced #fire appliance in 3 simple steps using the Konmari Method. Everything comes off, cleaned, checked and returned to its home
Spoiler alert: it all sparked joy.
13 firefighters relieved our Norseman crew home today and 3 hours later the Kalamunda 3.4U is ready for the next job.
Great job by the team on and off the fire ground.
Outstanding job Kalamunda keep up the excellent work and stay safe out there
Kon Marie method 🤣🤣🤣
Our #Norseman #deployment have been working hard for 5 days tracking the Beehive #Fire. Conditions have been pretty tough, but the guys are being well looked after by our Chief. They'll be greeted at station tomorrow by a large cleaning crew ready to clean our truck ready for the next job!

Top job team
Kalamunda 3.4 has teamed with SWORD Volunteer Fire & Emergency Services and is being lead by our chief at a 15000ha fire in #Norseman. Day 2 into a five day deployment.
Stay safe
Keep your eyes peeled you might find a floater, that area has produced a vast amount of large gold nuggets.
Albany and Denmark have sent crew's to esperance also and we have a second deployment organized. Take care out there.
Are you really as prepared as you think you are?

After surviving flooding in the Top End, ABC reporter James Dunlevie is bracing for fire threatening his new home in Tasmania.
We join the WA Police Union, their members and Mark's family in remembering Mark Loohuys, a Kalamunda Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade member and Western Australia Police Force officer.
To honour Mark's memory, the Brigade created the Mark Loohuys Firefighter of the Year award in 2001 which is awarded annually to the most stand out Brigade member of the past year.Today we remember Constable Mark LOOHUYS 9856 who was killed in a traffic crash on Great Eastern Highway in Glen Forrest on this day in 2000. He was only 22 years old.
We will remember.
And well done to the Kalamunda Bush Fire Brigade for keeping this award going. A fantastic Brigade and we appreciate the time and effort the members volunteer to protect not just Kalamunda but assisting the surrounding shires at times of need. Keep up the great work.
I remember that day only too well. Very sad.😥😥😥
Thank you for all your sacrifices we are so grateful
😢
Jo Mallis Paul Markovic has it really been 19 years! Still can't listen to Land Down under without remembering Mark!! Taken way too soon. Never Forgotten
Time flies Pennie Stockdale Bazen. I have such fond memories which are as vivid as he was just here yesterday. He's sadly missed.
It was a very sad day. Worked along side him in the brigade. Taken way too soon, RIP.
