25.01.2022 Did you know? Teams of firefighters work together as a family for 24 hours, or more, at a time. Throughout the shift, their #1 priority is to be READY TO RESPOND. Whether they are sleeping, taking a shower, or buying groceries, firefighters are prepared to drop what they are doing anytime, anywhere. For this reason, you may see a truck at the grocery store, local restaurant, hardware store, or other retail establishment. Since eating at restaurants every day is cost prohibit...ive for firefighters, they choose to pool their money together each morning to buy groceries and cook their meals at the fire station. If you've ever been at the grocery store when a call comes in, you've probably witnessed the firefighters stash the shopping basket behind the deli counter, in the dairy cooler, or under the supervision of the butcher, asking, "will you please keep this to the side, we'll be back as soon as we can." There are several benefits to shopping around town. Children may get an impromptu tour of the Fire truck, crews are able to interact with the public, and the crews support local businesses. Additionally, there are plenty of times where the grocery store was closer to the scene of an emergency than the fire station. Since the entire crew shops together, they are READY TO RESPOND together with all of the life-saving tools and equipment you'd expect! We hope that you have time to stop and say hi to your firefighters next time you see them. All too often, interaction with the public is limited to emergencies. As much as firefighters enjoy being there to help, it sure is nice to meet people under positive circumstances. Never hesitate to drop by the station to say hi. We love visitors! #MinutesMatter #therewhenyouneedus #PreparedForAnything

23.01.2022 Last week we learnt all about fire safety at preschool. A team of fire fighters from Penrith fire station visited our preschool to share some practical fire saf...ety lessons. The children really enjoyed having a close look in the fire truck and having a turn of the fire hose! You may want to revisit some of the fire safety concepts with your child at home. We would like to thank the teams from Penrith fire station for visiting Kingswood Park Preschool. See more

An additional four appliances were prepared for deployment within the following hour. This deployment requires a coordinated effort from all functional areas of Fire and Rescue NSW.
