Stawell Fire Brigade set for 2026

AFTER attending 193 callouts in 2025, the same amount as the previous year, 2026 is a big year for Stawell Fire Brigade, not only receiving funding for a Ford Command Control Vehicle, but hosting the CFA/VFBV State Firefighter Championships in March. Over the last week, however, the Fire Brigade sent out approximately 25 firefighters to help with the Skipton/Stoneleigh and Natimuk fires.
