25.01.2022 Last night two Beacon Hill crews, along with crews from Davidson Rural Fire Brigade and Warringah / Pittwater Headquarters Rural Fire Brigade responded to assist our colleagues from Fire + Rescue NSW with a fire burning at North Head. Crews were on scene for approximately 4 hours containing and extinguishing the fire. The erratic fire behaviour, under a strong Southerly influence, is a stark reminder that fire danger doesn't just come in the middle of summer. This weekend is Get Ready Weekend, so it's the perfect time to make sure your property is bushfire ready.

24.01.2022 Crews will be conducting a Hazard Reduction at the Narrabeen Academy of Sports today. Smoke is likely to be visible from surrounding suburbs, including from the Wakehurst Parkway.

23.01.2022 Just after 2 p.m. yesterday our heavy tanker was responded from station to assist NPWS and Fire + Rescue NSW with the fire at North Head. After some hard work, the fire was contained and RFS crews were released around midnight.

23.01.2022 Tomorrow (Wednesday November 18), RFS crews will be assisting our colleagues from Fire and Rescue NSW with a small hazard reduction on the Pipeline Trail that runs between Allambie Rd and the Wakehurst Parkway. This is an important hazard reduction that provides strategic protection to residents of Madison Way, as well as the Arranounbai School and the various disability support services in the area. Residents in the Allambie Heights, Bantry Bay and Frenchs Forest areas can ...expect to see smoke in the area from 8:30 a.m. for a period of a few hours. Local crews will be taking advantage of ideal conditions over the coming fortnight to complete a number of important hazard reductions across the Northern Beaches.
