Thieves Steal Firefighting Gear, Leave Station Vulnerable

Thieves hit the Terrap Terrap CFA station in Northern Victoria over the Easter long weekend, swiping thousands of dollars in firefighting gear and fuel. This comes just three months after the brigade battled the deadly Longwood bushfire that took the life of local farmer Max Hobson. They broke in through a sliding glass window sometime between 7 pm, Friday April 3rd and 9 am. Three chain saws and a Starlink mini satellite communicator. The crew is gutted, especially after risking everything on their recent blaze.
