24.01.2022 Afternoon Hedlanders We have drawn the Daily Double for tomorrow with a CATASTROPHIC fire danger rating and a TOTAL FIRE BAN within the Town of Port Hedland... The weather conditions for the first half of tomorrow are going to be very similar to today, with blustery winds and high temperatures. The risk of a fire starting tomorrow is VERY HIGH with CATASTROPHIC consequences. So please observe the ban and remain vigilant. Town of Port Hedland

22.01.2022 With the Hedland BFB already being active this week, its time YOU did your bit to help out. With a HIGH fire danger forecast for the weekend if your getting out and about and get a little fire going for cooking or just a social get together dont forget to put it out. Follow the simple steps below and we will all be happier and much safer.... Have a great weekend

21.01.2022 Thanks to our brothers and sisters at the Port Hedland Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service who we teamed up with tonight for some water draughting and pump training. Thanks also to the Town of Port Hedland in allowing us access to their facility to undertake the pumping. It is support such as this that allows us to train our members and expose them to a variety of situations and scenarios.

20.01.2022 While the Town of Port Hedland is on a Total Fire Ban spare a thought for our fellow Volunteers in NSW. Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity IMMEDIATELY as a fire in our region today will be difficult to control.

17.01.2022 Excellent advise from our brothers South Hedland VFRS Port Hedland Four Wheel Drive Club Inc Port Hedland Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service North West Telegraph

14.01.2022 Some interesting facts for you to ponder

14.01.2022 Youth of Port Hedland....get on board with this.

13.01.2022 With the mercury set to rise over next few days...so is the Fire Danger Rating....Severe Fire Danger is set for Sunday and going into Monday. Be vigilant and extra careful.

12.01.2022 This is a testament to all those involved, the victims who have lost so much, the emergency services volunteers and career personnel who have given up so much and to the wildlife and animals that have suffered so much, that despite the devastation and all the emotions that come with it, that we as a people, a race, a community come together to face it as a community far and wide.

12.01.2022 With the continuing hot and gusty weather a TOTAL FIRE BAN continues into Sunday 8th November. This Total Fire Ban also extends into the Local Govt areas of East Pilbara and Ashburton.... This includes: All open fires for the purpose of cooking or camping are not allowed Hot work such as metal work, grinding, welding, soldering, gas cutting or similar is not allowed unless you have an exemption.

12.01.2022 We spoke too soon with the Fire Danger Rating........ Crews from BFB and South Hedland VFRS are in attendance.

12.01.2022 Afternoon Hedlanders In case you have been getting around with your eyes shut today, the Hedland BFB would like to let u know that we are aware of the fire to the South East of South Hedland and are monitoring it.

12.01.2022 Volunteer Firefighters from Hedland Bushfire Brigade and Port Hedland Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service joined forces today to extinguish a fire that was impacting the Highway today. Our thanks to our compadres for the assist. However, the road users STILL DO NOT GET IT!!!!!!!! When there are firefighters in fire appliances working on the shoulders of the road with their RED and BLUE beacons flashing......... SLOW DOWN because we can tell you your local VOLUNTEE...R firefighters are not going to die from a virus......its going to be because a road user did NOT follow simple courtesy or the road rules. It will get to the point that firefighters will have NO other choice but to close the highway for their own safety. This is something that we ALWAYS do as a last resort NOT a FIRST resort. Cmon you lot, next time your approaching emergency services on the side of the road SLOW DOWN. Or better still join your local Bushfire Brigade and understand and experience why these rules are in place.

12.01.2022 On Thursday the Minister for Emergency Services and Corrective Services Hon. Francis (Fran) Logan, along with DFES Commissioner Darren Klemm were in Port Hedland to formally handover the new 3.4 Urban Appliance to the Brigade. This appliance has been long overdue and now enables the brigade to be better equipped ahead of this years fire season. If you can see yourself helping to operate this appliance feel free to drop us a line or come down to the brigade located on Gt North...ern Hwy just past the airport. We meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month and desperately need new members. Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA North West Telegraph ABC Pilbara

02.01.2022 Morning Hedlanders Following yesterdays fire which required our firies to work on or near the Great Northern Hwy, it was very DISAPPOINTING that our firies safety was compromised with a great many road users not following the SLOMO - SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER rule when approaching and passing emergency services. We want to get home to OUR families safely and YOU can assist us with that.... Sometimes its not possible to slow right down to 40km/h however a SIGNIFICANT reduction in speed is better than passing us at 100km/h. Especially when visibility was significantly reduced. Our thanks to those, especially the Quad Truck Drivers who DID the right thing.
