23.01.2022 A big thank you to the NSW RFSA for once again supporting ours and other brigades. Christmas hampers to help the brigade celebrate the festive season.

23.01.2022 Deputy Captain David McMonnies and I were honoured to attend Marine Rescue Hawkesbury this morning to present members with their Premier’s Citations, following a very busy fire season. Marine Rescue members spent many hours manning radios, phones and carrying out river patrols over the course of the season and it was satisfying to see their efforts rewarded this morning. The inter-agency relationship between the RFS and Marine Rescue continues to flourish and the assistance from Marine Rescue is greatly appreciated. Dave Kissick, Captain.
