Amid last week’s catastrophic fires, an FRV strike team was deployed to the Longwood Fire to carry out asset protection in the Bonnie Doon area.
In a powerful twist of fate, the house being defended by FRV crews belonged to the parents of an FRV firefighter.
UFU members worked tirelessly under extreme conditions to protect the property, successfully saving the home with only minor damage to surrounding fences.
This is what our firefighters do — protecting Victorian communities and standing strong when it matters most.
UFU members are on the ground right across Victoria, working tirelessly to keep families, homes, and communities safe.
We’re proud of every firefighter who has been working during this time.
