The Bouldercombe Rural Fire Brigade is
manned by volunteers.
The brigade shed is located at 52476
Burnett Highway, Bouldercombe.
We have two fully equipped Fire Trucks,
a Mitsubishi Canter and an
ISUZU 4x4 as well as a fully equipped
fire trailer.
All persons reporting a
fire should dial "000".
The brigade will then be called to
respond.
New Isuzu Fire Truck
outside the Bouldercombe Rural Fire
Brigade Shed.
The brigade has recently taken delivery
of the new Fire Truck, a ISUZU 4x4
which
replaces
our decommissioned International Acco.
Sadly the Acco had reached its
use by
date
according to Rural Fire Service
guidelines.
Funds for the new truck were
obtained
from a Gambling Community
Benefit Fund grant, The Rural Fire Service - veteran
vehicle replacement scheme and the
Bouldercombe Rural Fire Brigade.
The brigade has also been very fortunate
in obtaining a Community Help Grant
through NRMA Insurance, funds from this
grant have been used to improve
water storage facilities with the
installation of a 25,000 litre tank.

The current mild weather conditions are
ideal for hazard reduction burns eg.
piles of
rubbish, logs and controlled burns of
grassy paddocks.
NOW is the time to get your permit from
our Fire Warden, Kev Hinchliffe 49340132.
Please do the right thing and get your
permit before you light up.
After you have arranged for your Fire
Permit, arrangements can be made for
brigade members to assist with your burn
off.
