22.01.2022 Clocks go forward one hour tonight. Probably best to do it before bed tonight rather than getting up at 2am! And check your smoke alarms and change the battery. If close to or more than 10years old you need a new one. Smoke alarms save lives!... #FRNSW #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #MoreThanFire #PreventionAndEducation #FRNSW359

19.01.2022 This weekend clocks go forward for Daylight Savings in NSW and it’s a great time to check your smoke alarms. FRNSW Lawson 359 and Fire and Rescue NSW would like you to know: It is important to test your smoke alarm batteries EVERY MONTH by pressing and holding the test button for at least 5 seconds until you hear the beeps. EVERY 6 MONTHS vacuum dust off your smoke alarms to ensure they are in working condition.... EVERY YEAR replace lead or alkaline batteries. EVERY 10 YEARS replace all smoke alarms with 10 year lithium powered smoke alarms. The risk of a fatality in the home is HALVED if there is a working smoke alarm in a residential dwelling. #FRNSW #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #MoreThanFire #PreventionAndEducation #FRNSW359

18.01.2022 Long weekend means 3 things, check your smoke alarms, change your clocks forward one hour tonight and double demerits so please drive safely. #FRNSW #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #MoreThanFire #PreventionAndEducation #FRNSW359

15.01.2022 Today Commissioner Baxter joined Commissioner Rogers and the NSW Rural Fire Service to mark the start of the 2020/21 Bush Fire Danger Period. Commissioner Baxte...r urged the NSW community to begin preparing their home as we head into the summer months and to consider the risk of bush fires when traveling around the State. As we move into summer and the holiday period, and especially given the travel restrictions with COVID-19, many people will be visiting bush fire prone areas. While they might not typically live in an at risk area, it’s important they have a plan for the area they are visiting."

06.01.2022 Congratulations to one of our newest recruits, Firefighter Linda, who attended her graduation ceremony last week at the new Fire and Rescue NSW Emergency Services Academy. Welcome to the team at FRNSW Lawson 359! #FRNSW #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #MoreThanFire #PreventionAndEducation #FRNSW359

05.01.2022 Judging by the number of motorists who failed to slow down, this rule seems to have been forgotten. Thank you to those that did the proper and safe thing. On ...lower speed roads (with a speed limit of 80km/h or less - this is 98% of the Blue Mountains), motorists will continue to be required to slow to 40km/h when passing stationary tow trucks, breakdown assistance or emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights. The rule applies to help protect those who protect us. All motorists must also give way to any person on foot in the vicinity of a stationary tow truck, breakdown assistance or emergency vehicle displaying flashing lights. Motorists must not increase their speed until they are a sufficient distance past all the vehicles and people involved. The rule does not apply when a stationary tow truck, breakdown assistance or emergency vehicle displaying flashing lights is on the opposite side of a divided road separated by a median strip. https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au//slow-d/index.html

04.01.2022 Social distancing in action.

03.01.2022 It was amazing to be back in our community this week, delivering our fire safety messages to the wonderful children at Possum Early Childhood Centre in Hazelbrook. Wow, these little ones impressed us with their fire safety knowledge! We have a feeling that in 15 years time we'll see a few of these faces as new recruits at FRNSW Lawson 359! Thank you Possum for allowing us to visit.... * All interactions followed safe social distancing requirements. #FRNSW #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #MoreThanFire #PreventionAndEducation #FRNSW359
