CFA can sadly confirm the death of a member while attending a shed fire incident in Portland this morning.

 

The volunteer collapsed at the scene, with his brigade colleagues, along with Fire Rescue Victoria and Ambulance Victoria administering CPR.

Despite their efforts, the member could not be revived.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the member’s family, friends and colleagues at the Portland Brigade. Our wellbeing team is providing support to all involved at this sad time.

CFA will provide further details once they are available.
