19.01.2022 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

18.01.2022 You may have seen the truck out and about around town today. That’s because today we were out conducting safety visits and we also stopped in at the Goodstart E...arly Learning for some fire education. The kids got to learn about get down low and go go go, plus where should their evacuation point be in case there is a fire at their house! Have you had this conversation with your kids? The safety visits were beneficial as we installed smoke alarms for some elderly residents as this is a part of this program. Anyone can benefit from these visits but most vulnerable are; Over 65’s. Those who live alone. People with limited mobility, hearing impairments or vision impairments. Residents who are supported by carers, family and friends. And anyone with English as a second language. If you want to register for a safety visit message us on here or contact the station. Fire and Rescue NSW Regional West 2

15.01.2022 PLEDGE TO DRIVE SO OTHERS SURVIVE I pledge to drive as if my loved ones are on the road ahead. I will remove all distractions and never use my mobi...le phone while driving. I will not put other people at risk by speeding, driving while tired or under the influence of alcohol/drugs. I will protect all vulnerable road users, especially those whose job places them in harm’s way, by slowing down and giving them the space they need to be safe. See more

15.01.2022 Another adventurous day for the crew. Turning out to 3 calls and also conducting their skills drill for the fortnight. At 12:54 Rescue Pumper 392, Pumper 208, ...NSW Ambulance and the Hunter Valley Police District were responded to a MVA Persons trapped. It was downgraded to just a MVA and the area was rendered safe with no injuries recorded. Later on RP392 were responded to an unknown fire. On investigation the call was given in good faith. Then whilst we were conducting our skills drill we assisted public with the help of local police. If you were out and about near Bowman park you would have seen us training on our new single inlet monitor. We also conducted a refresher on our bigger dual inlet monitor. These can be very useful in major emergencies as they can free up FF’s. We even got a visit off some tired pups that needed a refreshment from the monitors.

02.01.2022 For this week’s #FlashbackFriday we will be sharing the story of former retained firefighter, Adriana Mugica. In 1993, Adriana joined Wauchope Brigade as the un...it’s first female firefighter. It is important to note that women were only admitted into the NSW Fire Brigade from 1985. Interestingly, Wauchope was the first unit in the North 5 Zone to become rescue accredited, paving the way for Adriana’s next ‘first’. Just two years after joining Wauchope Brigade, she successfully undertook the State Rescue Board’s Rescue Operator Assessment, becoming the first female to be accredited in primary rescue operations. At the time, assessment subjects included hydraulics, rescue scene assessment, winches/chain pull set, cutting equipment, theory examination, patient packaging, air equipment, generators, and cordage. In a personal letter to Adriana, former Commissioner Ian MacDougall congratulated her on this accomplishment, noting you now have an enduring place in our history. Although rescue has been at the core of FRNSW efforts for the past century, it has evolved over the years with an increased focus on accreditation. Currently, the service has 182 accredited rescue units (and 1,853 specialised rescue operators) that assist with incidents such as motor vehicle accident rescue, animal rescue, and fire rescue. This number continues to grow. [: Adriana Mugica, 1995] #FlashbackFriday #History #FRNSW #Museum #Penrith #VisitPenrith #Wauchope Fire and Rescue NSW
