20.01.2022 Did your Brigade score a vacume? If so let us know in the comments below... Brigades who submitted an EOI as part of the RFSA vacuum giveaway have been notified... if they were successful or not. We had a great response, with almost 800 Brigades applying. Unfortunately, we only have 380 vacuums available, so we haven’t been able to fill every request. This week we conducted a random draw of Brigades that submitted an EOI and have let all Brigades know whether they were successful or not. As COVID-19 continues to disrupt our normal activities, we will keep looking for new ways to support our members. We have already distributed over 2,000 Lego kits to members and their families, sponsored over 700 members to complete Mental Health First Aid training, and supported hundreds through our chaplaincy and welfare programs. If you don’t already, please follow us on Facebook for updates as we roll out new initiatives, and hopefully return to more normal activities (subject to COVID-19 restrictions easing). As always, if we can be of any assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or call the office on 02 4723 3400. The RFSA Team

17.01.2022 Welcome to the official page for the NSW RFS Greater Sydney Area Command! The Greater Sydney Area Command is made up of over 11,000 dedicated and highly traine...d members who volunteer their time to provide fire & incident response 24hours per day, 7days per week in addition to undertaking a range of important community education, community engagement and fire mitigation activities to communities across 18 Local Government Areas throughout the Sydney Basin and surrounds.

17.01.2022 A fitting farewell for Captain Ed Cameron today. The longest serving captain of Yarramundi Rural Fire Brigade was respected by so many within the Hawkesbury and... further afield. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and fellow volunteers on what has been a difficult day for all those who knew him. Thank you for you long and distinguished service to your community, Ed. Rest in peace.

14.01.2022 If you’ve not heard this Group Officers story... well, you’ll be amazed. This guy deserves the highest award!

13.01.2022 An engaging couple of days! Yesterday, NSW RFS and FRNSW Area Commanders from across the state along with our Assistant Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners c...ame together at the Sutherland Fire Control Centre to catch-up, discuss preparations for the 2020/2021 bush fire season and opportunities for enhanced interagency operations and training. Today I spent time with my Area Commander colleagues from around the state before heading up to the Hornsby / Ku-ring-gai Fire Control Centre this evening to meet with the District’s Senior Leadership Team. It was great to meet the team and participate in the discussions around succession planning, innovation, hazard reduction and a range of other matters. Before heading home, I travelled over to the Northern Beaches Fire Control Centre to meet with Staff and Senior Volunteers who were undertaking a Strategic Planning Workshop. It was very positive to see that they will be steering the District in the right direction over the next few years to ensure that they have an engaged membership that will continue to deliver a first class service to their community into the future. #nswrfs #FRNSW #prepared #capable #engaged #InterAgency Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai Rural Fire Service Northern Beaches Rural Fire District

08.01.2022 Thanks to the NSW RFSA today Junior Members from our brigade and Lavington Rural Fire Brigade participated in Day 2 of a Mental Health, Leadership and a Resilie...nce program delivered by Priscilla Jaya The CPR Chick.

I'm now part way through the course and expanding my skills and knowledge. I know this course will help me enhance my career in emergency management and I encourage anyone who wants to better position themselves and help their community to apply. I honestly cannot thank the RFSA enough for giving me this opportunity." It's not too late the get you application in.

03.01.2022 October 6th at 3:00 pm MDT. Register Today for the Workforce Resilience Ignite Talk Series: Emotional Intelligence for Wildland Fire Professionals - WHY IT MA...TTERS AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE. It is crucial for wildland fire professionals today to be technically competent in their jobs. What is less obvious and less understood is the cognitive competency needed for our professional job performance. Join us for this event to better understand our own thought processes and how we make decisions on emotional feelings, social inputs, and how developing a high level of Emotional Intelligence can affect risk decision job performance as well as our daily performance. https://us02web.zoom.us//tZcscu-qrjkjH9QNSlnHTK5SlWCrs2ru7
