15.01.2022 Protecting the irreplaceable

13.01.2022 **A message from Commissioner Paul Baxter** It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Fire and Rescue NSW’s first commissioner, Commissioner Ian Mac...Dougall, AFSM, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 82. Ian joined Fire and Rescue NSW in 1994 after a long career with the Royal Australian Navy. Ian rose through the ranks of the Navy achieving rank of Vice Admiral before stepping into the Commissioner’s role. He spent almost 10 years with FRNSW and was able to modernise the department by upgrading our communications and technology to ensure we were equipped for the future. During his time at FRNSW, Ian was appointed President of the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council. Ian will be dearly missed by everyone at FRNSW and we extend our condolences to all his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

13.01.2022 Arson - The first in our series ‘A-Z of crimes in Dubbo Gaol’ where we take a closer look at crimes committed by the prisoners of Dubbo Gaol. According to the... ‘Australian Magistrates Handbook 1894’ arson was the term given to crimes relating to the misuse of fire, and the variance in sentencing was down to the extent of damage to buildings, property, and if people were injured or killed. A dwelling (a tent that had been lived in regularly counted as a domestic building) or church could see criminals serving up to 7 years in gaol or a sentence of life with penal servitude based on the severity of the crime. If someone was in that dwelling the sentence could extend to the death penalty, based on injuries and intent. Setting fire to other buildings would see sentences vary with up to 5 years imprisonment, and even setting fires near buildings could run the risk of up to 2 years behind bars. Arson today will still bring harsh penalties if proven, with a maximum penalty of 21 years in gaol. With regards to bushfires and the intentional lighting of fires that is reckless to the spread of the fire to vegetation or land, a person is liable to at least a non-parole period of 9 years. We have included two charge sheets of arsonists convicted and held briefly in Dubbo Gaol. Jacob Wissing who would receive 5 years penal servitude in 1892 for setting fire to a haystack near Cobar, and 14 year old Thomas Trefusis who in 1891 had three counts of arson to his name after being a terror to fellow workers and residents of Marebone Station. Included is also an image from the Macquarie Regional Library collection of those tasked with putting out fires in Dubbo, the first Dubbo Volunteer Fire Brigade. Before motor cars or fire engines members would have had to cycle to the fire, fire-hose in tow as this image from circa 1900 shows.

10.01.2022 NATIONAL ROAD SAFETY WEEK | More than 1200 people are killed and a further 44,000 injured on our roads each year. In 2018/19 we responded to almost 5,000 motor... vehichle crashes that required people to be extricated from their vehicles. We are trained and prepared to help at rescue incidents, but we would rather these incidents don't happen at all. Please drive to survive - take the pledge today: "I will not put other people at risk by speeding, driving while tired or under the influence of alcohol/drugs." #NRSW #DriveSOS
