This year's will again be an important one as the names of eight NSW RFS members, includ...ing four volunteers who died during last fire season, are added to the memorial.

12.01.2022 From 1 December 2020, the Australian Warning System and its icons will be introduced on the NSW RFS website and Fires Near Me NSW app. The NSW Bushfire Inquiry and the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements recommended the implementation of a national system to bring consistency to the way information and warnings are shown. The Australian Warning System includes a nationally-consistent three level warning framework across five hazards: bush fire, flood..., cyclone, extreme heat and severe weather. It is important to familiarise yourself with the new system and with apps like Fires Near Me so you can be ready in the event of an incident near your home.

08.01.2022 Incident Call - St Ives Chase At 18:30 last night both Ku-ring-gai and Killara Rural Fire Brigade were called to reports of a bushfire in a valley close to St Ives Chase. Multiple units responded and were able to locate the fire that was slowly spreading under fortunately benign conditions. Crews used well over 250 metres of hose to reach this fire and quickly contain it.... The fire was extinguished and crews have since made the area safe and departed. Since the start of the Bush Fire Danger Period (October 1st), this is now the 8th bush fire call out the brigades have attended. A significant amount in under two weeks. #NSWRFS

This Hazard Reduction will see bushland surrounding the North West of East Killara burned in a controlled manner to reduce fuel loads and protect hundreds of properties across the suburb. ...
