🔥 TOTAL FIRE BAN – TUESDAY 17th FEBRUARY 2026 🔥

Today, Tuesday 17th February 2026, has been declared a Total Fire Ban due to dangerous fire conditions.

Under a Total Fire Ban:
🚫 No campfires or solid fuel BBQs
🚫 No burning off or incinerators
🚫 No fireworks
🚫 No welding, grinding or cutting outdoors
🚫 No use of machinery that may cause sparks

Fires can start easily and spread rapidly in these conditions, putting lives, homes and firefighters at risk.

We ask all members of the community to please:
✅ Postpone any outdoor activities that could cause sparks or flames
✅ Follow all fire restrictions
✅ Report any fires immediately by calling 000
✅ Check the VicEmergency app for the latest warnings and updates
✅ Look out for neighbours, especially the elderly and vulnerable

Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe.

Stay alert – stay safe.

Yesterday members from Springvale CFA attended the Springvale Lunar New Year Festival to engage with members of the public.

Members spent time connecting with the community, discussing all matters related to fire safety and showcasing the appliance & equipment we carry to help keep our community safe.

A big thank you to Springvale Asian Business Association (SABA) for organising such a wonderful event and having us on the day.

May the Year of the Horse bring you all prosperity, luck and happiness.
