NSW Rural Fire Service volunteers firefighters courageously battl...ed the fires for months, working long hours in dangerous conditions to keep us all safe. They are 2020 #HumanRightsHeroes finalists. See more

19.01.2022 Good afternoon! The BOM have issued a warning for damaging winds and surf along much of the NSW coastal areas tomorrow (Tuesday). Gusts could reach up to 100km...ph. As you can see Terrey Hills and Northern Beaches is well within the warning area. Though the rainfall is not as bad as they first predicted you should always avoid flood waters. Do not go near and look out for fallen power lines. They have a very nasty bite. Watch out for trees fainting. Call SES (132 500) for any incidents that are none emergencies* Call 000 for any incidents that are emergencies* Please don’t report incidents through Social Media. We will do our best to keep you up to date where necessary. * Emergencies are classified as life threatening or a disruption to major roads.

18.01.2022 Okay, gather round... those who understand the ‘if it’s flooded, forget it’ concept may be dismissed... those who (and we know you are out there) say hold my b...eer remember... Unless your vehicle a Bond style submarine, no matter how much you want it to be, don’t... just don’t like these folks.

18.01.2022 Can you imagine? Check out the video below to understand why it is important to be ready for the Bush Fire season. A Bush Fire plan is not a one time thing. I...t should be revisited every year and adjusted where needed. Remember you can get a fire plan from your local brigade, Fire Control Centre, download the App ‘MyFirePlan’ or download a plan from the NSW RFS website and look under ‘Resources’.

08.01.2022 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.... Lest We Forget. #anzacday #anzacday2020 #dawnservice2020 #drivewaydawnservice #drivewaydawnservice2020 #lestweforget #wewillrememberthem

07.01.2022 It’s National Volunteer Week and we’d like to say thank to all of our volunteers across the state for the valuable contribution they make to the NSW RFS, and to... their communities. Without their dedication and commitment, the devastation and losses across the past fire season could have been far greater. Thank you for changing communities and changing lives. See more

07.01.2022 If you’re around Terrey Hills today, slow down along Mona Vale Rd. The first half of the JJ Melbourne Hills Reserve HR is under way. Working off a main road like this can be hazardous for firefighters, so please heed warnings and watch out.

07.01.2022 In 2019 #Ingleside #RFS volunteers were hardly home for Christmas... Let's hope we can get on top of this so we can all see friends and family this year. NSW P...UBLIC HEALTH ALERT #NORTHERN BEACHES NSW Health can advise that 17 cases of COVID-19 have now been identified in the #NorthernBeaches area, including cases diagnosed yesterday and today.

Therefore, to assist contact tracing and to contain any potential spread of COVID-19, we ask that for the next three days, people residing in the Northern Beaches Local Government Area take the following steps: Work from home and remain at home as much as possible Do not visit friends or relatives in aged care facilities or hospitals unless essential Avoid unnecessary gatherings Keep to your household group Avoid visiting high-risk venues including clubs, restaurants, places of worship and gyms Avoid unnecessary travel outside the Northern Beaches area.

03.01.2022 --- SEVERE WEATHER WARNING --- for DAMAGING WINDS and DAMAGING SURF Issued at 10:51 am Sunday, 26 July 2020.... A low pressure system that formed off the southern Queensland coast is deepening and heading south towards the New South Wales coast. DAMAGING WINDS, averaging 60 to 70 km/h with peak gusts in excess of 90 km/h are likely to develop along the coastal fringe of the South Coast on Monday morning, before extending north towards Illawarra coast during the day, reaching the Sydney coast and possibly up to the Central Coast later in the evening. VERY HEAVY SURF which may lead to localised damage and coastal erosion with wind-driven large sea waves is also possible on Monday, especially in the south-facing surf zones. Beach conditions in these areas could be dangerous and people should stay well away from the surf and surf exposed areas. Locations which may be affected include #Sydney, #Wollongong, #BatemansBay, #Eden, #MoruyaHeads and #Merimbula. The State Emergency Service advises that people should: * Move vehicles under cover or away from trees. * Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony. * Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences. * Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall. * Report fallen power lines to either Ausgrid (131 388), Endeavour Energy (131 003), Essential Energy (132 080) or Evoenergy (131 093) as shown on your power bill. * Stay vigilant and monitor conditions. Note that the landscape may have changed following bushfires. For EMERGENCY assistance due to storms call the #NSWSES on 132 500. If life-threatening, call triple zero (000).

02.01.2022 With the hot weather expected this weekend, friendly reminder if you see an unattended fire - call 000 The northern beaches district will have multiple fire trucks on standby throughout the entire weekend.
