A kicked off blanket onto a heater can ignite in minutes, ...and unless you have a working smoke alarm - you might not wake until it's too late. #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #MoreThanFire

09.01.2022 Avoid a nasty burn or scald and always turn your pot handles inwards. Pot handles turned outwards are the perfect height for running into and being grabbed by c...hildren. June is National Burns Awareness Month. Last year in NSW more than 3000 people suffered burns injuries with almost 50% of these caused by scalds.

06.01.2022 The name for the Academy Tower is now official! The streetscape around the Academy’s practical learning environment continues to develop, all designed to duplic...ate what fire crews would find in a normal urban environment. The centrepiece of the PLE is the tower, a 5-storey state-of-the-art structure. The tower is now officially been given with the name Jirrabity Tower. But why Jirrabity? How did we come up with the name? The Academy Operations Team came up with the idea of using an Indigenous name and contacted the Diversity and Inclusion unit, who endorsed the concept. A small network of Indigenous firefighters were contacted and set about researching and nominating names. Former Instructor Leading Firefighter Shane Kennedy was part of that group I remembered that a brown snake had been seen in front of the ESA before opening day in 2018, so I researched the traditional dialect and found that the local Dharug word for snake is jirrabity. The name was then referred to the Academy Steering Committee and was widely endorsed. Qualified Firefighter Jasmine Sarin, a successful Indigenous artist, was approached to design the artwork that would adorn the tower. Firefighter Sarin had previously designed the motifs that adorn the City of Sydney Runner, and within days the artwork was finalised. Academy Operations has now affixed the name and the artwork to the walls and doors of the tower, where it can be seen from a distance. The ESA is proud to have the name Jirrabity associated with the practical learning environment developed, designed and implemented through our diversity network!

04.01.2022 WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY | A smouldering cigarette has the ability to relight and cause a fire. Change what you do so it won't happen to you.
