25.01.2022 To most 343 is just a number. To nearly all firefighters around the world, it is a humbling reminder of the events that took place in New York on this day, 19 y...ears ago. This is because on 9/11, 343 New York City Fire Department (FDNY) firefighters did not finish their shift. The tragedy claimed the lives of 2977 innocent victims, and many continue to be impacted. To date, 227 additional firefighters have died with illnesses related to 9/11, with 27 names recently added to the FDNY World Trade Centre Memorial Wall. FRNSW shares deep and personal connections with FDNY, we will never forget the immediate and ongoing loss they were dealt and continue to deal with, all those affected are in our thoughts today.

23.01.2022 If you're changing your clocks before going to bed tonight, take a moment to check your smoke alarm. It’s as simple as pressing a button. If your alarm isn't working, replace the battery or the unit. Only working smoke alarms help save lives. Don’t risk it, test it. #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable

22.01.2022 EXCITING NEWS !!!! 216 Bathurst has a new Relieving Station Officer He comes to us with a wealth of experience and we are really excited to have him onboard. He brings with him nine large animals, lots of little helpers and a very supportive wife. He has a few little quirks that we've noticed. For example he loves a list and always checks it twice, he can squeeze into some very tight spaces and he knows who is naughty and nice. Our Firefighters will need to be on their best b...ehaviour this Christmas. We're so happy to welcome Mr Santa Clause to Bathurst 216 Station and he will make a great addition over the coming week And don't worry we will be sure to let everyone know when Mr Santa Clause is on our Fire Truck. #216Bathurst #FRNSWChristmas2020 #SOSanta #FRNSW

19.01.2022 2020 Brought with it many highs and lows. We started with Bushfires and ended with a Pandemic. Throughout the year the firefighters from Bathurst 216 Station have been #PreparedForAnything. We have spent countless hours training, keeping fit, learning new skills, travelling across the state to respond to incidents and provided our local community with the support they need. We have lost several firefighters who have moved on, gained many new firefighers to replace them and meet lots of members of our local community. We spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year ready to respond to any emergency. #216Bathurst #FRNSW #216Alpha #216Bravo #216Hazmat #PreparedForAnything #BathurstNSW

11.01.2022 A man has been arrested as part of a joint-agency investigation into the alleged importation of illegal firearm parts and drug manufacturing equipment in NSW’s ...Central Tablelands. Last month, the New South Wales Police Force (NSWPF), Australian Border Force (ABF) and United States Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) commenced an investigation after receiving information in relation to the alleged importation of firearm parts and drug manufacturing equipment into Australia from the US, Hong Kong, China, Germany and Japan. Following extensive investigations, NSWPF officers from Western Region Enforcement Squad and investigators from ABF and HSI executed a NSW search warrant and a customs search and seizure warrant at a home at South Bathurst just after 6am today (Wednesday 23 September 2020). The operation is also being assisted by Chifley Police District, the Dog Unit, and Western Region Operations Support Group. After investigators uncovered a suspicious substance inside the home, assistance was requested from Fire and Rescue NSW’s HAZMAT to render the area safe. Specialist officers from the Rescue and Bomb Disposal Unit and the Drug and Firearms Squad’s Chemical Operations Unit are in attendance. The 36-year-old male resident was served with Firearms and Weapons Prohibition Orders before being arrested and taken to Bathurst Police Station, where he is expected to be charged. The operation is ongoing and further information will be provided when it becomes available. Information about the importation of firearms, illicit drugs or other prohibited items can be reported to BorderWatch: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au//what/borderwatch/reporting. Anyone with information about the importation and/or supply of firearms or illicit drugs is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report crime via NSW Police social media pages.

11.01.2022 Last Tuesday night our Retained Firefighters participated in a Hazmat Training Exercise. The firefighters we tasked with identifying an unknown substance which had been spilled in a warehouse. Some firefighters wore specialised suits and breathing apperatus to approach the substance. While others helped identify the product based on its colour, consistency, type of container and other features with our chemical database. All of our Retained Firefighters here at Bathurst are trained in Intermediate Hazmat. #216Bathurst #216Bravo #216Hazmat #216Retained #preparedforanything #hazmattraining #FRNSW
