24.01.2022 A Total Fire Ban has been put into place for Sunday 29 November covering the Far North Coast. Including Richmond Valley, Lismore, Kyogle, Ballina/Byron, Tweed Heads and Clarence Valley council areas. The Ban comes into force from midnight tonight for 24 hours. All permits remain suspended until Sunday midnight. A Total Fire Ban means no fires out in the open. You cannot light, maintain or use a fire in the open, or carry out any activity in the open that causes, or likely to cause a fire. This includes welding or grinding. Care should also be taken if slashing, harvesting or even driving vehicles in paddocks of long dry grass.

23.01.2022 Today's fire danger rating has been elevated this morning to Very High Fire Danger all permits are suspended immediately. As tomorrow is also forecast as Very High they will stay suspended until midnight Wednesday.

19.01.2022 Casino members would like to thank our community for all the support and encouragement we have received from them in the past couple of years. From our family to yours we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Safe and happy holidays everyone.

19.01.2022 The brigade is responding to a bush alight call in the Mothersoles Rd area of Ellangowan.

16.01.2022 We have been responded to an accident near the Manifold Rd Public School please avoid the area if possible. Please help us attend quickly by slowing down and moving safely to the left to let emergency service vehicles past.

13.01.2022 Very High Fire Danger has been declared tomorrow 16/11/20 so all permits will be suspended from midnight tonight for 24 hours, any fires you have burning will need to be out by that time. If you see any live fire tomorrow without a truck in attendance please call 000.

12.01.2022 The couple of cooler days we are having is a good time to check your bush fire survival plan before the higher bush fire danger levels and heat forecast for the next week arrives. Discuss with your family what you will do and what your triggers are to do it. Prepare your property, clean out the gutters, cut the grass, work out what you are going to do with your live stock and don't forget the pets. The safest option is to LEAVE EARLY. If you intend to stay and defend you need... to be physically and mentally prepared. The smoke will be choking your lungs and stinging your eyes, the heat and the noise will be extreme. Once you get to that stage it is too late to leave. Stay safe and stay cool.

11.01.2022 The first scorcher of the season is on tomorrow with a temp of 37 degrees forecast for Casino and surrounds along with fairly strong north to north westerly winds.

If you see any live fire tomorrow without a truck in attendance please call 000.

11.01.2022 With Very High fire danger being rated for Sunday and Monday a reminder that any permitted burns you may wish to light today or have active, must be fully extinguished by midnight tonight.

08.01.2022 A few storms creeping about some looking nasty. If you are on the road please drive to the conditions and allow plenty of room to stop. If at home do a quick check of your gutters, to see if they are clear, and a look around the yard to see if there is anything which could be blown around in the wind. If you get one in your area stay indoors, bringing pets in as well, stay away from windows and stay safe. Remember if you need emergency assistance in storms ring the SES on 132 500. For life threatening emergencies ring 000.

08.01.2022 2019 and 2020 weren't the best bring on 2021 and let's see what it has install for us all. Happy New Year Everyone.

08.01.2022 We responded to a caravan fire this afternoon and as the holiday season starts it comes as a timely reminder. When cooking over the festive season please remember things can go very wrong very quickly. So please remember to check your fire blankets and fire extinguishers are in good working order and that you never pour water or flour onto a fat fire. The owner of the caravan was a quick thinker and turned the oven off and got out and closed the caravan up, helping to control the spread of the fire.

07.01.2022 Multiple brigades are being responded to a fire in the Coombell area. Please watch for emergency vehicles if travelling on the Summerland Way.

05.01.2022 Casino 1 and 7 attended a Bush fire to assist Casino East with Ellangowan and Tomki also in attendance. Blowers were used to cut a line through the bush to stop the spread of the fire before the fire got any larger. All the crews worked well and successfully stopped the fire. Land owners are reminded to keep an eye on your property with extreme temperatures predicted over the weekend.

04.01.2022 Permits still required and they will be issued at the issuers discretion. Despite the recent rain we are still in the bushfire danger period which means landowners are still required to obtain a permit for burning and must notify all adjoining property owners and activate their permit at least 24 hours before lighting. If you are unsure who your area permit officer is please call the fire control centre and they can help you out. ... Permit officers for Casino Brigade's area are: Michael Munro 0488 605 768 Shaun Vidler. 0428 624 662 Hamish Lyle. 0419 018 002 Casino Fire Control Centre 6663 0000

If you see an unattended fire please call 000 and for any changes or updates watch this space.... Keep cool and well hydrated over the coming days, not forgetting your pets, check on neighbours and family and leave the matches and lighters in the cupboard.

02.01.2022 Today we remember the amazing men and women who have served and are serving to protect our beautiful country. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning ... We will remember them. See more
