What a morning for our crews! 😮‍💨 This morning crews were paged to a job although en-route came across a car accident! 🚘 After being cancelled from the initial call, Mernda crews and Doreen CFA were able to assist our friends from Ambulance Victoria and Victoria Police, efficiently cleaning up the scene to then pay our respects at the Doreen Remembrance Day Ceremony.

👻Halloween 2024😱Last night, crews from Mernda CFA & Whittlesea SES set out on a very spooky task to make sure that all the kids (and adults 🤫) had plenty of spook-tacular fun whilst out trick or treating last night. The night was filled with thousands of scary, fun & ghostly costumes (although our favourites were the firefighter costumes 👨‍🚒).We want to wish a big thank you to all the families & community members for creating such a great culture last night! Community spirit was in action.

It’s with great sadness that Mernda Fire Brigade announce the passing of John Gower. John was a founding member of Mernda Fire Brigade in 1973 living on a long legacy of community safety and volunteerism. Throughout his volunteer career he held many positions throughout the brigade including 2nd, 3rd & 4th Lieutenant along with Brigade Secretary, the role he will most be remembered for by the Mernda Community though his years spent as Santa during the Brigade’s Santa Runs. These roles left John always going the extra mile to protect our community and greater Victoria. Along with John’s formal roles within the brigade, he made significant contributions to the brigade to be an Honorary Life Member & 50 Year Life Member awards for his distinguished service to Mernda Fire Brigade and the Country Fire Authority. John’s contribution, commitment & dedication to the Country Fire Authority & Mernda Fire Brigade will live on for generations and shall not be forgotten. Our thoughts are with John’s family during this difficult time. ... See MoreSee Less
