25.01.2022 The 1st October marks the beginning of the fire season so no fires without a permit. As well as getting a permit from the local Council & your local Brigade, ...you then need to log on to the RFS website and fill in the notification to do a burn, this requirement is all year round. This will hopefully overcome a lot of call outs for brigades that are not necessary. Please do not ask for a permit via a Facebook post. You need to contact us directly as we need to inspect the burn. See more

25.01.2022 You can't smell smoke in your sleep. Keep everything, including yourself, one metre from the heater. 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

24.01.2022 SOLAR PANEL FIRES | We are urging residents with solar panels to remain aware and vigilant after an influx in solar panel fires this year. This footage was obta...ined from a neighbour in Glenwood who called Triple Zero (000) after noticing a house nearby had solar panels alight. This was one of six solar panel fires that Fire and Rescue NSW attended in the past week alone. These statistics show solar panel fires are up 20 percent compared to last year and continuing to rise. Isolation switches appear to be causing almost half of solar panel fires, so it is vital to ensure solar panels are installed and regularly maintained by a professional and that systems comply with Australian Standards. Always do a licence check with NSW Fair Trading before any installation and wiring takes place. This can be found at https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au//during-th/solar-panels. #MoreThanFire #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #PreparedForAnything

Beginning as a variety store more than 100 y...ears ago, they are part of Australia’s history. Coles was nominated for a Volunteer Supporter Award by volunteer Michael Luckman from the Yerrinbool Brigade within the Southern Highlands, During the Green Wattle Creek, and Morton fires I was told by My Manager, if you’re needed on the truck you man the truck if you are not needed on the truck and are fit, come to work. Also told me not to worry about my pay he will sort it out and I never had an issue and I was on the truck a lot through our busiest period being Christmas. Today we recognise and thank Coles for their ongoing support of Volunteers.
