Thanks you CFA Whiteheads Creek - Tarrcombe

May 2026

The Rotary Club of Phillip Island and San Remo was proud to donate $1,000 to the CFA Whiteheads Creek - Tarrcombe in recognition of the incredible support they provided to the Phillip Island CFA during the Longwood Fires earlier this year.

As part of Bass Coast Strike Team 0817, 16 members of the Phillip Island CFA deployed to the fires from 10-16 January, working alongside the dedicated volunteers from Whiteheads Creek-Tarcombe around the Hughes Creek area.

Our local firefighters spoke highly of the brigade's generosity, teamwork, and tireless commitment to protecting their community. Despite already working around the clock since 7 January, the brigade welcomed our crews as part of their own team -- sharing local knowledge, supporting operations, and ensuring everyone was looked after.

The donation will assist the brigade with plans to extend their station to include a meeting area, kitchen, and toilet facilities -- an important project for a brigade that gives so much to its community.

Rotary is proud to support those who serve others, and we thank all CFA volunteers for the extraordinary work they do in protecting communities across Victoria. ''
