24.01.2022 Whilst it has been quiet from the outside, A lot of activity has taken place around here since the last fire season. With the help of public and private donations and grants, our brigade has had a major upgrade including new toilet and shower amenities, our outdoor area has been concreted and upgraded to make it a much nicer place to relax after a fire, Insulated roof, plus air conditioning for our office and kitchen . Equipment wise we have purchased Backpack Blowers and ...Misters, a chainsaw and a Thermal Imaging camera. A new computer, Refrigerator, TV, BBQ, for our station However, The piece de resistance to our upgrades is a wonderful mural for our station by local artist Honi Reifler who selflessly donated her time to make our station a nicer place to be. (although we think she secretly enjoyed herself ) Thanks to Glenreagh and wider community for your donations and support, It's what has made this all possible and will make working future fire seasons from here considerably more pleasurable. And Lastly, Thanks Honi, It's awesome. See more

Just a reminder that Morrows Road is closed at Palomino Drive and the roadblock is manned 24 hrs a day.
