21.01.2022 KANGAROO RESCUED FROM STORM WATER DRAIN, LITHGOW. Just after midday Fire and Rescue NSW crews from Lithgow fire station were called to assist with a kangaroo re...scue, after it was reported that a female kangaroo had been swept away in flood waters and was stuck in a storm drain. After liaising with WIRES, the FRNSW crew made their way down into the drain to assess the kangaroos condition and plan her rescue. The juvenile Eastern Grey kangaroo was found uninjured and was safely removed from the drain. The rescue was successful and she is now in the care of WIRES.

21.01.2022 Unfortunate incident today our near Sodwalls. A truck carrying a load of hay caught fire starting a small bushfire that quickly spread out of control. There was... a swift response from our local farmers, which meant both the truck fire and bush fire were pretty quickly controlled by Fire and Rescue NSW and the NSW Rural Fire Service. With thanks also to the tankers that carted water to us, NSW Police Force & the NSW Ambulance service.

18.01.2022 Gospers Mountain Fire Update More good news this afternoon with the Gospers Mountain fire which has been labelled the Mega Blaze - the biggest fire in Austr...alia since records began, has officially been declared OUT! The fire, which burned through more than 512,000 hectares after it was ignited by a single lightning strike in a remote forested area on October 26, was once considered "too big to put out". The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said the past four days in Sydney had been the wettest since 1990, with a combined 391.6 millimetres of rain falling. A huge effort from many different services in containing this enormous fire, hundreds of homes and lives were saved thanks to the hard work from firefighters.

07.01.2022 Wind Change forcast Once again this evening, there is an expected wind change that will blow across our district which will again blow smoke over a large pa...rt of the central ranges. As most people are aware, the smoke is coming from the Gospers Mountain fire in the Wollemi National Park. We ask everyone to please only call 000 if you see an unattended fire. Last night we were inundated with 000 calls from concerned personnel about the smoke. Although we are very thankful that everyone is so prompt with calling 000, we plead that you only call if you see a fire that is unattended

06.01.2022 PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT NSW Health is urging anyone who attended the Crossroads Hotel at Casula between Friday 3 July and Friday 10 July to: - immediately self-iso...late until 14 days after they were last there - get tested even if they have no symptoms - watch for symptoms and get retested should any respiratory symptoms occur - even if you get a negative test stay in isolation for 14 days. The warning follows confirmation of an additional four cases of COVID-19 directly linked to the hotel: - a South Western Sydney teenager who worked at the hotel on several days including 3 July - a close contact of this worker, a South Western Sydney woman in her 50s - a South Western Sydney woman in her 40s who had dinner at the hotel on 3 July - a Victorian man in his 20s who had dinner at the hotel on 3 July These four are in addition to the five previously reported cases in a woman in her 30s from South Western Sydney and a man in his 50s from the Blue Mountains who had dinner at the hotel on 3 July. This mans three household contacts have also been confirmed as positive for COVID-19. The total number of cases linked to the hotel is nine. None of these cases appear likely to have been the source of infection at the hotel. NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said anyone who either worked or visited the Crossroads Hotel from 3-10 July should isolate themselves for 14 days after they were last at the hotel, regardless of symptoms or test results, and be tested even if they are not displaying any symptoms. If you were at the Crossroads Hotel between 3 and 10 July you may be at risk of infection and you must isolate yourself to avoid spreading COVID-19 to others. While investigations are continuing, it is vital people get tested so we can try and establish the source of infection at the hotel. I encourage people to access a number of clinics at local hospitals at Campbelltown, Fairfield and Liverpool so people are tested as quickly as possible, Dr Chant said. Additional staff have been deployed to the pop-up clinic at the Crossroads Hotel to expedite those people who wish to be tested there. Testing is available at Liverpool, Campbelltown and Fairfield Hospitals at these locations: https://www.nsw.gov.au//how-to-protect-yourself-an/clinics Testing is also available through GP clinics. The pop-up clinic in the carpark of the Crossroads Hotel is open until 5pm today. As this clinic is quite busy, people are asked to be patient and attend the other clinics where possible. Its essential that we all take the risk of transmission very seriously and take steps to protect ourselves and loved ones: - If you have even mild symptoms, a cold or cough, get tested and stay home until youre cleared. - Keep your distance from others at all times even if you are well. - If you have been in Victoria, dont mix with other people until two weeks has passed. People who work in high-risk settings such as health care facilities or aged care homes must not to attend work if they have symptoms and must get tested immediately. People should also not visit relatives in these settings if they have even the mildest of symptoms or have recently returned from Victoria.
