The Mt Wilson/ Mt Irvine Brigade currently has about 60 active firefighters, and 45 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.

Fire Trucks: 1 x Cat 11 Pumper, 1 x Cat 1, 1 x Cat 7, 1 x Cat 9, 2 x PC (both of which have medical eqipment)
