About Us The City of Wanneroo encompasses an area of 786 square kilometers. The Wanneroo Volunteer Bushfire Brigade provides a fire prevention and suppression service for the municipality with the exception of areas under the care and control of the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) and the gazetted fire districts controlled by the WA Fire and Rescue Service.The bush fire fighting area consists of coastal dunes and gently undulating sand country with numerous outcrops of limestone and caprock. The vegetation of the district includes large areas of pine plantations, swamps, heavy bush areas, rural properties and buildings. The Wanneroo Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade consists of about 60 volunteer members who work rostered times 12 months of the year. Assistance is given to the WA Fire and Rescue Service and CALM when required. Over the years the brigade has like many other volunteer Fire Brigades met the needs of a changing community and fire service to develop into what is now, an efficient and professional volunteer fire brigade which can go from mounting an attack on a bush or wildfire to attacking a structure fire. The fire fighting fleet consists of 3 light tanker 4x4 units, 1 heavy duty 4.4 rural tanker. |
