For more than 115 years, the Ulverstone Fire Brigade has proudly supported and protected the local community. Today, it remains one of Tasmania’s busiest fully volunteer brigades, responding to more than 200 call outs each year. The brigade is made up entirely of dedicated volunteers who continually train and upskill to maintain the highest standards. Members train fortnightly and regularly complete additional courses in bushfire response, urban firefighting, pump operations, hazmat response, first aid, and advanced resuscitation. Beyond emergency response, the brigade plays an important role in community life, supporting events including the Christmas Parade, Christmas Carols, Anzac Day services, school visits, and nursing home visits. Volunteers describe the brigade as “one big second family” where everyone looks out for each other, and no one is ever left behind. One member recently celebrated an incredible 45 years of service! Ulverstone Fire Brigade continues to encourage new volunteers to get involved, learn valuable skills and make a real difference in the community. Brigade members say there is nothing more meaningful than helping someone on one of the worst days of their life, whether attending a major emergency or simply rescuing a cat from a tree.
