Overview

• The Country Fire Service announced on August 5 that Yahl and Lucindale volunteer brigades have been chosen to receive the quick response vehicles.
• These specialized units are smaller and highly maneuverable, enabling crews to reach emergencies faster over challenging terrain.
• This allocation marks the first deployment of quick response vehicles in the Limestone Coast region.
• Deliveries to both brigades are scheduled within the coming weeks, with crews set to integrate the new assets into local operations.
• The rollout underscores the CFS’s commitment to strengthening emergency preparedness and reducing response times in rural communities.
