Formed 23rd of April 1967. In typical fashion, early meetings of the brigade were held at members’ properties. The brigade moved to its current location in September 1976. The brigade is a water based brigade, operating 3 fire boats and a Land Rover Personnel Carrier capable of towing the vessels to other waterways.
In 2011, major upgrades to the station were completed which include the addition of a 3-berth floating station where the brigade’s fireboats are stored on floating pontoons, and additions to the land section of the station to improve training and welfare areas.

The brigade’s website contains some great photos and information about the running and history of the brigade.

Bush Fire Service WA – Kalamunda Brigade

November 21, 2013 – 8:05 pm

Bush Fire Service WA
Kalamunda Brigade
Kalamunda Shire

Kalamunda BFB is the only BFS Brigade in the Kalamunda Shire and the station is located in the Walliston industrial area. The brigade has centralised over many years as much of the Shire has been urbanised with decreased bushland and FRS resources increased. The Walliston station is the first formal fire station for the brigade, with previous operations running from a shed at the rear of the Police Station and Bus depot in the Kalamunda town centre. Prior to that shed, operations were spread across informal ‘homes’ for the brigade’s equipment. An extensive history can be found on the brigade’s website (link below).

The brigade’s fleet has developed strongly over the years. A core part of the fleet has always been a number of Light Tankers (or Fast Attacks as they were also known). The brigade still runs a number of Light Tankers, but has increasingly moved towards larger tankers with greater water capacity and equipment stowage. The brigade these days has a 3.4 tanker, 2.4 tanker, and 1.4 tanker along with a number of Light Tankers. Some years ago the Brigade also commissioned an Incident Control Vehicle, based on a Toyota Coaster bus, which has increased the Command & Control capabilities in the shire.

WA Fire & Rescue Service – Ellenbrook Station

August 16, 2013 – 10:00 am

Ellenbrook Fire Station is one of FRSWA’s newest stations, built as a result of the significant residential development of the Ellenbrook area. Until its opening the area was covered by West Swan BFS along with Midland, Malaga and Wangara FRS Stations. The presence of this station dramatically reduces response times into the Ellenbrook, Vines and surrounding areas, as well as out of area to the north.
