Welcome

The Green Head Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade welcomes you to our Brigade Web Site. The aim of this site is to communicate our activities to the Community we serve and to our members. The site is simple and without the bells and whistles of those professional web sites, but if it serves a purpose we can build on it for the better. This site has been checked for browser compatibility and it checks out in both Fire Fox and Internet Explorer. There are still some issues with IE so the site has been optimised for Fire Fox which is the preferred browser for this site. You are welcome to browse around, and see what it is we are doing at the Green Head Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade - Enjoy.

What's Been Happening at the Fire Shed?

Plenty !! With the restricted burning period upon us the Brigade has been busy preparing the town for the up coming fire season. An audit has been conducted of the Green Head Reticulated Hydrant System, prescribed burns have been completed and the pre fire season appliance maintenance has been carried out. All in all we are now ready for the up coming fire season. The Hydrant Audit Report can be viewed here and the Appliance maintenance worksheet can be viewed here.

Prescribed Burns Complete:

Two precibed burns scheduled for the Green Head town site in 2011 have been completed. One burn being off Lakes Road east of the South Bay sub division and the other off Green Head Rd, north of McDonald Place. These two burns are stretigic in that they form part of the Fire mitigation plan for the Green Head Town Site. The mitigation plan is the cration of low fuel buffers that circle the town site inclusive of the light industrial area. The final stage of the plan will be completed in 2013 with prescribed burns being conducted to the northof the LIA.
