24.01.2022 Do you know where to shelter in your home during an emergency? The strongest part of your home is usually the smallest room with the least windows. Bui...lding codes in the Northern Territory were changed after cyclone Tracy in 1974. Homes built in cyclone-prone areas of the NT since 1975 are designed to withstand a mid-range category four cyclone.

23.01.2022 TOP DAY IN THE TOP END Today we had the chance to stop and thank our volunteers of the Top End. It’s been a long year and they have worked hard.

Volunteers Long & Meritorious Service Medals were proudly presented to Darwin River members Brett Shuker, Lee Shuker, Jason Shuker and Brian Ballinger. Thank you each of you for the years of service. Your contribution and support has gone a long way. We would like to thank our volunteers for sharing their time with us today and all our volunteers for their ongoing support. It was wonderful to see everyone in good spirits and celebrating the end of another busy fire season. We hope all our volunteers get a chance to rest and everyone has a wonderful, merry and safe Christmas. Thank you all

23.01.2022 APPRECIATION IN THE ALICE Wednesday night Bushfires NT recognised and celebrated our wonderful volunteers of Central Australia for their dedicated work througho...ut 2020, assistance interstate and meritorious service. The Central Australian 2020/2021 fire season is about to begin with hopes it will be a quieter one than that of the the Top End. On behalf of the NSW Premier Simon Casey, Ryan Casey, Blake Debney, Mitchell Uzzell and Jacob Skipsy were recognised for their contribution and service to the NSW 2019-2020 emergency response. Well done guys, you did us proud! Volunteer Long & Meritorious Service medals were proudly presented to Mitchell Uzzell and Amanda Houston. Mitchell has been a volunteer with the brigade since 2011, Committee Member for the past 5 years and recently stepped up as Public Officer. Mitchell is always willing to promote the brigade and encourage new members, assist in training and this year provided much needed fire fighting assistance in the Top End and interstate. His commitment to his community and genuine kind nature is a pleasure to work with. Thank you Mitchell. Amanda has been the backbone of the brigade serving as Treasurer and Secretary for the majority of her time, often juggling both roles. Her caring and passionate nature has significantly influenced the strength of the brigade and their ability to retain members. Amanda’s management support, time and effort has been invaluable and her mothering nature has earnt her the title of 'mum'. Thank you 'Mum' for your all your support. Thank you to all our volunteers for your ongoing support. Thank you and stay safe.
