| - | None | + | === House Fire, Alice Rd 12th December === |
| + | Called to assist with a bush fire which was started from a house fire, in Alice Road. This was a very large incident, involving many brigades including several from outside of the Shire. Whilst the house was completely destroyed, quick work by a neighbour with a bobcat prevented the bushfire from spreading further. Attended by Adrian, Andrew M, Keith, Michelle, and Rob. | ||

| + | === Bushfire, Chambers Rd 14th December === | ||
| + | Turned out to a bushfire near Gorrie Road. The fire quickly escalated and eventually developed into a major incident, covering 4000ha and involving hundreds of fire fighters. The fire was eventually controlled later that evening with the arrival of rain from ex-Tropical Cyclone Joyce. Attended by Adrian, Andrew H., Andrew M., Andy, Angus, Ben, Colin, Dave R., Dave W., Elton, Graeme, Jen O., John L., Kath, Keith, Michelle, Murray, Patrick, Paul T., Phil, Rob, Tina, and Warren.
