22.01.2022 Fire Rescue NSW Baulkham Hills Station Commander Jeff Chalker today encouraged households to 'spring clean' and reduce the risk of fire in the home coming into the warmer months. Station Commander Chalker said by following a few LPG gas and BBQ fire safety precautions, having a working smoke alarm and a home escape plan, households will be better protected from fire. Gas LPG fire safety... * Avoid the use of outdoor heating and cooking equipment inside your home. The use of this type of equipment indoors could lead to the build up of Carbon Monoxide which could be fatal. * Never use portable LPG cylinders indoors or in confined spaces * Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance. * Check the expiry date before using a gas cylinder. * Ensure connections on hoses are tight with no leakage including deformation or cracks in o rings or in the hose. * Never check for leaks with a naked flame. * Never use a hose that has perished or is cracked. The backyard barbie can be a common cause of fires during summer. Here are some pointers: Keep barbecues clean and ensure all gas hoses and connections are correctly fitted. After using your barbecue, remove all excess fat so it doesn’t become a fire hazard. Check cylinder and hoses for leaks by brushing or spraying with soapy water. Dispose of old and unwanted cylinders safely. Contact your local council for more information. There should be an adult in charge of a lit barbecue at all times. Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) can be extremely dangerous if stored or used incorrectly. Station Commander Chalker said "It's a sad fact that losing property, possessions or worse in a fire is often preventable and with a good spring clean, people stand a better chance of protecting their homes and families from fire." #BBQsafety #LPGcylindersafety #FRNSW #springclean #getreadyforsummer #greatoutdoors

21.01.2022 SLOW DOWN, MOVE OVER AND GIVE SPACE. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Fire Rescue NSW Baulkham Hills together with other emergency services, tow trucks and breakdown assistance crews often work on some of the busiest and fastest roads in Sydney from Windsor Rd, Old Windsor Rd the M7 and M2 motorways. ... You may see us working on quieter suburban roads or even in your own street. After a number of close calls, we would appreciate if you could please LIKE and SHARE this message with as many people as possible. Please take a moment of your day to watch this video developed to help motorists understand what to do when you see us on the roadways with our warning lights activated. Help protect our teams and make sure they go home to loved ones at the end of their shifts. This post is a reminder that a road rule has changed. The trial of a rule that required motorists to slow down to 40km/h when passing stationary emergency vehicles with flashing blue or red lights has been completed. A review of the trial, which included community feedback, has resulted in a change to the road rules. This rule has been changed to improve the safety of emergency services personnel, tow truck operators and breakdown assistance providers working on the road, as well as the people they are helping. The changes also make it safer on higher speed roads where the time and distance required to reduce speed to 40km/h is the greatest. The changes to the rule commenced on 26 September 2019.

13.01.2022 The crews from Baulkham Hills were called to The Oaks on Friday to assist the RFS during the hot-refuelling of water bombing helicopters. Hot-refuelling is where the the engine and rotors are not stopped during refuelling. Extra fire protection is required during these operations to ensure the safety of pilots and ground crews. It allows for faster turn around times and therefore more time protecting properties.

Fire comms upgraded to 2nd alarm structure fire on route due to numerous calls and large volumes of smoke observed en route from Baulkham Hills Station Commander. 67 Station Baulkham Hills were quickly first on scene closely followed and assisted by Blacktown Pump, Blacktown Technical Rescue, Seven Hills, Schofield's, Huntingwood Aerial Pump and Duty Commander.... Crews arrived to find the street heavily smoke logged together with an intense fire on the upper level of the split level home Officers evacuated the residents to safety from the rear of premises while firefighters entered the burning premises to conduct a fire attack to extinguish the burning property and perform a search and rescue to locate missing pets. Additional back up crews were able to protect the adjacent houses from the spreading fire. Officers located the animals on the property and safely reunited them with their owners. The fire was extinguished after 1 hour and crews were successfully able to stop the fire spreading to the remainder of the property, saving the 2 lower levels of the home. Fire Investigators and Police Forensics were later on scene to determine the cause of the fire which is yet to be established. The owner, Dennis an 80 year old Kings Langley pensioner who worked for Baulkham Hills Council for 30 years was unable to re occupy the property due to the extent of the damage. Unfortunately the premises was no longer insured and the man has been displaced. The family have set up a gofundme page to assist their Grandfather.
