20.01.2022 So, things have quietened down a little operationally, and with that comes training! Over the last few months, members of our community have sparked interest in becoming Volunteer Firefighters. It's our time, while we can, to teach these new members the basic fundamentals of firefighting in an effort to boost our capability and better protect the community.... By the end of April we are expecting to see them fully qualified and attending incidents with the Brigade. If you see them out and about, be sure to say Hi! Welcome to the family! #horsleypark #volunteer #nswrfs #bushfirefighter #training

14.01.2022 Know what to do when you hear a siren or see the flashing blue or red lights of an approaching emergency vehicle? When you hear a siren or see the flashing blu...e or red lights of an approaching emergency vehicle: * Give way to the emergency vehicle if you are stopped do not move until it is safe to proceed, even if the traffic light is green. If you are moving, you must slow down and stop if necessary to avoid a collision with the emergency vehicle. * Move out of the way as soon as you can safely do so * Move over as much as you can to the left-hand side of the road or, if possible, move onto the road shoulder or breakdown lane. On multi-lane roads, try to move into the left lane to let the emergency vehicle pass * Drivers on both sides of the road should be prepared to move out of the path of emergency vehicles * Emergency vehicles with sirens sounding or lights flashing responding to urgent situations are not required to follow the rules, as long as it is safe for them to do so. Drivers should always be extra cautious when they see flashing lights or hear sirens. https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au//approaching-emerg

About... 2.35pm on Tuesday 3 December 2019, emergency services were called to Firetrail and Smeeton roads in Castlereagh following reports of two separate bush fires.

The vehicle is described as a maroon 2002 Toyota Rav 4, with yellow and black New South Wales registration plates. This vehicle was seen travelling in areas surrounding all three fires prior to and after their ignition.
