The Fire Danger Period will commence for the Cardinia Shire Council at 0100 hours on Monday 17th November 2025.

This means after this time, you cannot light a fire in the open air unless you have a permit or comply with certain requirements.

If you do not obtain a permit, you could be breaking the law and may be prosecuted. Penalties may include a fine and/or up to 12 months' imprisonment.

For guides on what you can and can't do during the Fire Danger Period or on days of total fire ban visit cfa.vic.gov.au/can

For burn-offs prior and after the declared Fire Danger Period, ensure you comply with any municipal local laws and always register your burn online at Fire Permits Victoria or call 1800 668 511.

Knowledge is the best tool when it comes to fighting fires; help spread this information by talking to your family, friends and neighbours.

Stay safe this summer.

What can I or can't I do during the declared Fire Danger Period, and on days of Total Fire Ban, when fires in the open air are legally restricted?.

We will be conducting a pre-summer training exercise in the area on Saturday, 19 October 2025.

This exercise is an important part of our preparation for the upcoming fire season, ensuring our crews are well-trained and ready to respond.

Residents may notice increased CFA activity in and ccariund Koo Wee Rup, including fire trucks and personnel, throughout the day; be assured this is a planned training exercise and not an emergency.

We thank the community for their understanding and support as we prepare for the fire season.

TRIGGER WARNING

Motor Vehicle Rescue

If you want to see how our Nar Nar Goon CFA Rescue use their equipment on a car to extract patients after a collision, come to our open day now, the mock demo will start at 11am.

It’s amazing the power their equipment has to cut through steel like butter.

Wow, things are heating up at our open day. Come down and see us now.

We’ve just received a whopping $500 voucher from Tall Trees Nursery in Balnarring and $100 voucher from Smileys Brewery.

These are going to be won today at our lucky door prize. We just ask for a donation in return.

We’re at our running track between the bowling club and swimming pool until 1pm today.

Around 3pm yesterday our ultralight was paged to assist with a large, quickly spreading grass and scub fire in Upper Beaconsfield.

29 appliances attended to bring the fire under control. All CFA members were home by 8pm leaving the area for Melbourne water to monitor overnight.

Start preparing now before the fire season starts, this just shows how quickly things can go wrong on just one day of wind and warmth.

Over the weekend, a team of our amazing Koo Wee Rup volunteers took on the challenge of the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb! 🔥🏃‍♂️

Together, they raised an incredible $4,676 for some truly impactful charities: Lifeline, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, and the 000 Foundation.

We couldn’t be prouder of our climb team — their determination to take on the stairs and raise vital funds for cancer research, mental health, and su***de prevention is truly inspiring. 💪❤️

👇 Below you'll find individual times from the climb, along with some great snaps and videos from the day.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated — your support means the world. The team is already looking forward to stepping up again in 2026 to continue the fight against cancer, depression, and su***de. 🙌

Old car needed. Would anyone have an old car for us to cut apart using Nar Nar Goon Rescue truck on our open day on Sunday 5th Oct. The only catch is it would need to be dropped off in the morning by around 9am and taken away after 1pm. Actually, the other catch is we aren’t able to pay much for it, maybe $100 for transport costs? Oh, the last catch is you’ll have to behave when you’re dopping it off as we hope to have Police Highway Patrol there as well. Please comment here or message our page if you’re able to help us out.
