MFB Racing
MFB Racing is a unique community safety initiative that educates high-risk community groups about fire and road safety.
The faces behind MFB Racing are firefighters Adam Smibert and Martin Theron who use their appearances at high profile race meets around Victoria to promote life-saving messages from the MFB.
Launched in 2002 with the support of Honda Australia, Tiger Angel, Shark and Alpine Star, MFB Racing is also a popular exhibit at community events and festivals including Australia Day, Community Safety Month festivities and the Royal Melbourne Show.
MFB Racing was awarded the RACV Individual Award for Excellence at the 2003 Fire Awareness Community Service Awards.
In 2006 MFB Racing took possession of a new Honda ST 1300 Fire Bike donated by Honda Australia. The Fire Bike assists the MFB in its efforts to reduce Victoria’s road toll by promoting motorcycle road safety.
The Fire Bike will not be turning out to fire calls but will be attending schools and events such as the MFB’s T.E.E.N.S road safety program, Vic Police road safety events, Honda Australia Rider Training (H.A.R.T) events, road safety rides with the Shire of Yarra Ranges, etc.
2008 saw the introduction of a new MFB scooter donated by Honda Australia which is used for instructed safety rides in and around the Melbourne CBD. MFB scooter rider is team member Lisa Smibert.
Adam, Lisa and Martin will be appearing all over the Melbourne metropolitan area to promote road safety, in particular motorcycle road safety.
