11.01.2022 40 years ago today, five volunteers from Headquarters (Heathcote) Brigade Sutherland Shire tragically lost their lives as a result of a bush fire in the Royal National Park. It was Monday 3rd November 1980, just before dawn when local fire fighters were alerted to a bush fire near McKell Avenue, Waterfall. Later in the afternoon, the fire crossed Uloola Track heading north towards Heathcote.... It is on this track where the five firefighters tragically lost their lives around 5:00pm as the fire passed through the area, whilst sheltering at their tanker. Other crews were just 200 metres away & were unaware of the tragedy that unfolded further along the track. The fire was contained four days later near Karloo Pool just south of Heathcote. This week marks the 40th anniversary of when these five brave firefighters from Headquarters (Heathcote) Brigade, Steve Crunkhorn, 26yo, Gregory Rolfe, 24yo, Vernon Stedman, 21yo, David Marshall, 19yo, and William Cummings, 21yo made the ultimate sacrifice protecting the Sutherland Shire. We remember these young firefighters. Our thoughts are very much with their families, friends and fellow firefighters, many who still remain active today.

09.01.2022 With steady winds from the north, smoke from a hazard reduction burn being conducted on North Head (Manly) is being blown over the shire. This smoke may persist for some time under this weather pattern. A small fire started earlier today in the vicinity of the clay target club off Heathcote Road, but was quickly brought under control by the NSW RFS brigades that attended. The Kangaroo Ridge fire at Sutherland remains under control. ... For live updates, we encourage community members to download the 'Fires Near Me' app and set up a 'watch zone' which will alert you to fires around a specified area.

09.01.2022 At our last General Meeting some of our members were awarded their Official NSW Premier's Bushfire Emergency Citation for the huge effort put in over the last fire season. It saw our members travel all over the state to help out in a season that we hope we never see again. The citation was presented by RFS Inspector Ugo Talone and Group Captain Darren Quandt. We are extremely proud of all our members and congratulate them on receiving the citation.

08.01.2022 Shout out to the Greenhills Beach Community for the generous donation to our brigade. The funds will be put towards maintaining equipment in preparation for the upcoming fire season. Thank you all for your continued support.
