Current Brigade

The Mt Wilson/ Mt Irvine Brigade currently has about 70 active firefighters, and 55 support volunteers. About a third of our active firefighters live in the villages and can provide immediate response to incidents. The other two thirds of members live off the mountains and respond once they can arrive locally and are available to longer duration incidents where crews are needed on subsequent days. This provides the Brigade with the ability to consistently fight long lasting bushfire events.

In 2022 the Brigade comprised:

Fire Trucks: 1 x Cat 11 Pumper, 1 x Cat 1, 1 x Cat 7, 1 x Cat 9, 2 x PC Support Vehicles (both of which have medical equipment)
Active Firefighters: about 70, and Active Support people: about 55
Members: about 130 active members
Mt Wilson Fire Station: 47 The Avenue, Mt Wilson
Mt Irvine Fire Station: Mt Irvine Rd, Mt Irvine
