Welcome to the Official Wanneroo Central Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade Facebook Page! Please visit our website at www.wanneroobfb.org.au for more.
The City of Wanneroo encompasses an area of 685 square kilometers. The Wanneroo Volunteer Bushfire Brigade provides a fire prevention and suppression service for the municipality with the exception of areas under the care and control of the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) and the gazetted fire districts controlled by the WA Fire and Rescue Service.
The bush fire fighting area consists of coastal dunes and gently undulating sand country with numerous outcrops of limestone and caprock. The vegetation of the district includes large areas of pine plantations, swamps, heavy bush areas, rural properties and buildings.
The Wanneroo Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade consists of about 60 volunteer members who work rostered times 12 months of the year. Assistance is given to the WA Fire and Rescue Service and DPaW when required. Over the years the brigade has, like many other volunteer Fire Brigades, met the needs of a changing community and fire service to develop into what is now, an efficient and professional volunteer fire brigade which can go from mounting an attack on a bush or wildfire to aiding in storm relief and community events.
The Wanneroo Central fire fighting fleet consists of 3 Light Tanker 4x4 units and 1 Heavy Duty 4.4 Rural Tanker. The Brigade also benefits from the new Bulk Water, 12.2, Tanker run by Wanneroo Fire Support Brigade.
Overall, the City of Wanneroo Fire Services crew and maintain 6x Light Tanker, 4x4, units, 1x 1.4, 4x4, Rural Tanker, 2x Heavy Duty, 3.4 and 4.4 4x4 Urban and Rural Tankers, respectively, 1x 12.2 BWT, 1x Fire Support Vehicle, 1x Incident Control Vehicle, 2x Fire Protection Officer (FPO) Vehicles, 1x Collar Tank Trailer, 3x BBQ Trailers and 1x Canteen Trailer.
