Local bushfire brigades have completed their October 2025 pre-season training.

We’re getting bushfire ready!

Shire of Harvey’s bushfire brigades completed their annual pre-season training exercise on Saturday, 11 October 2025.

This annual exercise ensures local brigades are prepared for bushfire season.

On Saturday, the large-scale exercise saw brigade members travel to multiple locations between Uduc, Myalup and Harvey Dam to take part in practical drills.

Our volunteers do a great job, but could use your help.

Local bushfire brigades are always on the hunt for more members.

Give them a call if you’re interested in joining and want to have a chat!
