22.01.2022 Firefighter knocked at the heavenly gate His face was scarred and old He stood before the man of fate For admission to the fold... what have you done Saint Peter said., To gain admission here? I’ve been a fire fighter sir he said For many many years. The pearly gates swung open wide As Saint Peter toy chef the bell. Come in and choose your harp, my son You’re seen your share of hell.

If anyone wishes to help, please donate to the victims of those who have lost their houses during these terrible fires. If you would really like to help your local RFS station please contact them directly for their bank details. All donations are tax deductable.

16.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE Sadly as of 1700 today, we have just been advised we are now to adhere to level 2 Covid restrictions. This means we have had to cancel our yealy Santa visit to the Dora Creek community this year.

15.01.2022 HEROES: Geoff Keaton and Andrew O'Dwyer paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting their community. The volunteers at Horsley Park Rural Fire Brigade, in western Sydney, leave behind young families: http://9Soci.al/kVsY30q3wI1 #9News

13.01.2022 Tonight 6 crew members from Dora Creek will be joining other fire fighters from the NSW Rural Fire Service - Central Coast District at Charmhaven Fire Control Centre to be taken down to Sydney via a coach to relief crews who have been out all day. Our thoughts go out to our fellow injured fire fighters and wish them the quickest recovery. Also our thoughts are with all residents who have lost their homes in these horrific fires so far. With the expected Fire Danger Rating t...o worsens over coming days crews will be working tirelessly through the days and nights to protect life and property. To our fellow fire fighters and other emergency services personnel we wish you a safe return to your family’s NSW Rural Fire Service Fire and Rescue NSW Lake Macquarie FM 97.3 Lake Macquarie City Council NSW Ambulance NSW Police Force Lake Macquarie NSW Alerts

Day after day they have been getting donations from the local community and cooking us breakfast, lunch and dinner.

05.01.2022 Today we fly our flags at half mast for it marks a year on from when our hearts broke with the loss of two of our volunteers from Horsley Park Rural Fire Brigade -Deputy Captain Geoffrey Keaton and firefighter Andrew O’Dwyer. Both two young dads who were tragically killed when a tree hit the fire truck they were in at Buxton, south-west of Sydney. Today, our members will take a moment for quiet reflection, to give thanks and remember them.
