24.01.2022 NTFRS would like to thank Pine Creek resident Janice for her beautiful hand-knitted teddy bears. Over the years, firefighters have been providing the teddies t...o young children who have been impacted by a fire or car crash. In Janice’s spare time she creates these spectacular bears in a firefighter’s uniform and provides them to our firies, just in case a child is in need of some cuddly support. Firefighter Manny Koulakis said, In the wake of a traumatic event, Janice’s comfort, support and reassurance can make children feel safe, help them manage their fears, guide them through their grief, and help them recover in a healthy way. We provide children with a ‘Trauma Teddy’ to let them know that we care.

13.01.2022 SLOW DOWN! Territory kids are headed back to school Northern Territory Police would like to remind the public that most Territory kids are headed back to schoo...l tomorrow! Police are urging motorists to slow down in school zones and pay extra attention around schools. Police will be conducting active patrols of school zones enforcing the 40 km/h speed limits. Most school zones are 40km/h between the hours of 7am and 5pm on school days. Police take a zero tolerance approach to speeding in school zones. Drivers caught speeding will face a fine and incur loss of demerit points, or worse, loss of licence. In addition to speeding, police will be targeting other dangerous practices such as talking on mobile phones, people stopping or parking on or near school crossings which obstructs the visibility of other drivers. Let’s make sure we get our kids back to school safely, by slowing down, paying extra attention, and being courteous around school zones.

07.01.2022 Volunteers Wanted for the Koolpinyah Volunteer Fire Brigade Rural Volunteer Brigades Koolpinyah is one of 5 Volunteer Brigades in the Darwin rural area that support Metro stations when they respond into the rural areas of Humpty Doo, Howard Springs, Koolpinyah, Virginia and Bees Creek.... Many people who decide to become volunteers are motivated by a desire to do something for their community and help others in need. However, there are other aspects to volunteering which people also find very appealing, such as: Educating people in the community about fire safety Continually learning and practicing useful skills Doing physical work Belonging to a team Forming friendships and socialising together Firefighting is it really for you? Certain qualities needed to make an effective Volunteer firefighter are not always immediately obvious. Please take a minute to consider the following questions. Answer them as honestly as possible to see if you've got what it takes. Are you genuinely interested in people and able to get on with people from different backgrounds and cultures? Are you reasonably fit and healthy? Are you committed to promoting the safety of your community? Do you enjoy working as part of a team? Could you work under pressure to support your colleagues? Would you be able to deal sensitively with members of the public in difficult and emotional situations? Would you be able to take the responsibility for representing a professional service? Are you committed to always maintaining and developing your skills? Are you prepared to follow instructions from others? Are you dependable and can you be relied upon? If you answered yes to all of the above, you may well be able to cope with the challenges of the firefighter role. What will I be doing? Time commitments vary between units but a typical commitment range is: one training night per month; one meeting per month; and attending incidents when you are available and rostered. What do Fire and Rescue volunteers get for giving their time? Create a feeling of safety to people living within and visiting the community. Have a great sense of self-esteem and pride in their community Have an active social life and make good friends within the brigade and community Learn new skills that can enhance your employment prospects I’ve never done anything like this before how will I know what to do? Our volunteers are ordinary people just like you. Volunteering with us can be a family affair or an individual lifestyle change. Full training and protective clothing is provided to all volunteers. You will never be sent out to conduct a role without extensive FREE training. Many of these skills are nationally accredited and can be utilised in the normal workplace enhancing your career opportunities. How do I join?
