24.01.2022 Please consider a donation to support these wonderful families who have lost their homes and belongings in the recent South Coast bushfires. I recently published a post on this page documenting Andrew and Katrina Condies tragic story, it is well worth reading. We wish them all the best.

24.01.2022 We have a few places available for our First Aid Course to be held on the 27 January 2021 at the Dorrigo Golf Club. If you need a First Aid qualification please contact Richard ASAP.

23.01.2022 Fireground copped a grilling from ASQA today in a ‘routine’ audit. We are pleased to say we passed with a few minor rectifications....(they had to search hard through the thousands of files we were required to submit at fairly short notice) A big thanks to all of our staff, especially Richard Shadforth and the contract trainers, also to the positive vibes sent by all of our people, especially the EMERG guys, and of course our students who give such great feedback. This was us today, bending over backwards to meet all requests for information.

23.01.2022 The crew at FIREGROUND Salute all Rangers world wide and stand in memory of those fallen and those who we know personally. TGL is making a difference and we are proud to be connected with TGL.

22.01.2022 Do you need a First Aid Certificate? Join our passionate and highly experienced trainers at the Dorrigo Golf Club on Wednesday 16 September. To enrol or for more information please contact Richard on 1300 183 902 or email [email protected] COVID-19 Safety plan in place.

22.01.2022 Fireground plays a pivotal role by providing highly experienced trainers to work alongside FCNSW. This year we devised e-learning modules that were completed by attendees before camp to reduce the amount of time spent in the classroom.

22.01.2022 This week Fireground has been contracted to assist Forestry Corp to deliver training to Local Lands Council members from Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and Wauchope, so that they can partipate in mitigation of wildfires and planned burning. Great work Russ Wall Visit NSW State Forests https://www.prime7.com.au/news/27950-fire-training

21.01.2022 Another successful fire training camp complete! Loving the socially distanced camp photo. Congratulations to all participants. Visit NSW State Forests

21.01.2022 .......Who would have thought that by the new year Dave would be wearing a Forestry Corp hat, using his expertise in fire management in IMT at Wauchope and now Cooma.

21.01.2022 Fireground staff have been busy putting the finishing touches on their new online training facilities. This room is already proving to be vital with Dave delivering online Group Leader training with Forestry Corp and AIIMS Incident Management training with LLS (Local Land Services) over the next few weeks.

21.01.2022 Great foresight from Aus Eco solutions in these projects. We were happy to train up their crew to participate in this type of cultural burning.

20.01.2022 Our cleaners have been out and about....word of mouth is such a great marketing tool in a small community

18.01.2022 As we finish off 2019 and come into the new year, whilst watching fireworks, or spending time with friends and family, please take a moment to spare a thought f...or all of those fighting fires, escaping fires, or experiencing loss from fire. Wherever you are be safe, and as hard as it will be for many, we wish you a very safe and happy new year. #happynewyear #sendinglove #thinkingofallaffectedbyfire #sobering #staysafe #lookaftereachother #herestoabetter2020

18.01.2022 Dorrigo Station positions vacant for retained firefighters

18.01.2022 Fantastic local Dorrigo business, please show your support by enjoying a great day picking your own blueberries. Don’t forget to book

17.01.2022 Well after a massive 5 nights in Cooma FCC, finally have a chance to read some posts and post a few photos from last few day. Firstly my thoughts go out to all ...those directly impacted by these beastly fires. Secondly my thoughts to all those emergency response people who have been dealing with fire since August, there is no end in sight, just a few catch up days. Stay Safe Friends First three photos taken 10 minutes apart on Sat afternoon around 1500 temp was still around 38deg, as our fires went pyro. See more

17.01.2022 Congratulations to Dave.

17.01.2022 Great teamwork and mentoring on display at FCNSW fire training camp this week. Well done to the fireground team of @richardshadforth2019 @peterbrookhouse @russelltwall for putting in the big hours. @nattieleee #visitnswstateforests #firetraining #fireready #futurefirefighter #preparedness

17.01.2022 Thanks Ballan District Health for your assistance. When you are flying interstate for a job, it is hard to get those manikins in your carry on luggage. Dave also delivered Firefighter training to 10 Aus Eco Solutions trainee Firefighters.

16.01.2022 Getting ready for bushfire season means taking action now. As you prepare to keep safe, keep these tips front of mind.

15.01.2022 Happy Birthday today to Fireground’s main man and the driving force behind our company.

15.01.2022 Our hearts are breaking for our Forestry colleague Andrew Condie, who has worked in partnership with us many times over the years at Forestry fire training camps. We are so glad Andrew and Katrina and their family are safe but this story gives us a glimpse of what it is like for our frontline personnel and their families.

15.01.2022 Do you Need a new First Aid Certificate or re-accreditation? FIREGROUND will be conducting a nationally-accredited First Aid Course (HLTAID003) in Dorrigo on Tuesday 21st July.

15.01.2022 Pop into the office to discuss with Dave.

14.01.2022 Last week we held our first FCNSW fire camp for the season. The first camp in the CoVid era. Word is it was the best camp ever.... not sure if the masks were helpful or hindrance #newnormal #visitnswstateforests #firefighters #futurefirefighter #firetraining #bestever #mountseaviewresort #fireready

14.01.2022 A great weekend of networking and planning for the future. Busy times ahead.

11.01.2022 As news of our fire tragedy continues to go global, I would like to Share this great artwork from a friend of our family, Pierre Seillier, a Froggy mate who is a true friend of all Aussies, Thank you for your tribute to our firefighters. Pierre is a passionate Frenchman from Fromelles who devotes his life to commemorating Australians who fought in the wars. His research and commemoration is extraordinary. Pierre has given us permission to share with acknowledgement to his artistic skill.

11.01.2022 Richard and Nat have been delivering 4WD to NPWS at Narrabri. Top views after a tough hill climb. Just got to get down now! Great training venue at Bike Territory

11.01.2022 It was an honour to be a part of the journey for 55 people who were awarded our e-learning facilitator scholarship or subsidised place with Accellier Education....

10.01.2022 Exciting News! In response to demand during COVID-19, Fireground has expanded its business services to include cleaning services. See the flyer below for details. When life gives you lemons use them as a disinfectant!

09.01.2022 While we may not have any dogs enrolled in our Basic Wildfire Awareness (BWA) online training, we did train Ryan so that he was safe to enter the fireground with Taylor and search for koalas. The online training only takes a couple of hours and is a great course for anyone who would like to know more about the nature of fires and the dangers that may be encountered in the fireground. This nationally recognised training is available to anyone. If you are interested please email [email protected] and we can give you more information.

08.01.2022 Thinking about giving something back to the community? Here is a great opportunity to be part of the local team of firefighters, get trained and possibly create a new career path.

08.01.2022 EMERG Group members met in Armidale over the weekend to discuss our future direction including strategic business planning, exciting new opportunities and our i...nternational expansion. We had an election to vote in a managing director, welcome Mike Watson. Your extensive business experience and connections will prove invaluable to our continual development and expansion of this very exciting company. We also took time to explore the facilities at Fleet Helicopters headquarters .

08.01.2022 Congratulations to our Managing Director Dave Hitchcock. A fantastic honour for many years of service to the community.

05.01.2022 Always available when you need them. Love to our fire brigade family

05.01.2022 ADVICE for our FOREST VISITORS: forest closures Did you know that both FULL and/or PARTIAL forest closures can apply for a variety of reasons? Active fire-grou...nds, fire management activities, dangerous trees post-fire, forestry operations, permitted events, roadworks and major weather events are just some of the reasons for closures. Fires are currently a major concern. Before any travel, always check the full list of FULL & PARTIAL forest closures on our website. And this Summer, ALWAYS check the RFS website for the latest on fires in areas you are planning to travel. #beinformed #besafe #staysafe #firemanagement #forestry

04.01.2022 Cultural Burning in Cowarra State Forest Commenced today It was amazing to attend the beginning of contemporary cultural burning today. The Bunyah... Local Aboriginal Land Council & Forestry Corporation of NSW have teamed up to train in cross-cultural fire burns. This partnership helps develop a cultural connection to Country and sustainable management of forests using practices that have been used by Aboriginal communities for centuries. Well done to the Local Aboriginal Land Councils & the Forestry Coorporation for taking this important step. Visit NSW State Forests

04.01.2022 Great initiative by Forestry Corporation of NSW. It has been a pleasure for FIREGROUND to assist in the training of these partnership members and look forward to enhancing the journey.

03.01.2022 Dave has swapped his Fireground uniform for a Forestry Corp one this week. He headed to Wauchope to assist with briefing the One Forty One Fire Crew from Mt Gambier SA who will help protect the communities of the Mid North Coast for the next 10 days. Tomorrow he is looking forward to working in Operations for an IMT out of Wauchope. One Forty One. @visitnswstateforests
