About the brigade
Working together.
Supporting each other.
Serving our community.
Our Brigade brings together approximately 20 dedicated volunteers from all walks of life, united by a shared passion for protecting and supporting our local community. As members of the community we serve, we take pride in making a meaningful difference through bushfire prevention, preparedness and emergency response.
Our members are trained and equipped to respond to bushfires and other emergencies, with capabilities spanning frontline firefighting, bushfire suppression and protecting homes and property under threat. Working alongside neighbouring bushfire brigades and emergency services, we are committed to safeguarding the people, properties and natural environment of Two Rocks and its surrounding communities.
Our People
Many roles. One team. One community.
