25.01.2022 Today on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we pause for a minutes silence to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defending our nation. Lest We Forget.

24.01.2022 We love to see our amazing members being acknowledged for their equally amazing achievements. Four of our members were recently recognised for their contributions to the horrific 2019/20 NSW bushfire season. The members, along with many others who traveled to NSW were awarded the NSW Premier's Bushfire Emergency Citation. Congratulations and thank-you to Jenny, Tina, Stewart and Stephen.

21.01.2022 IMPORTANT - when reporting any fires or other emergency incident you must only ring 000. As much as we love to chat with our local stakeholders it does not provide any faster response and loses valuable time. In all circumstances call 000 so the Firecom staff can send the correct resources (including Police and Ambulance if needed) as quickly as possible. On another point we are being dispatched to fires that have been deliberately lit by property owners without a permit. An...y fire larger than 2m x 2m requires a permit Obtaining a permit is free and ensures you as the landholder understand your responsibilities and liabilities. Additionally it saves us getting called out because Firecom are aware of your burn at the time you are doing it. Thanks Duty Officer

20.01.2022 Where have you 'bean' all our lives??? Crews were back out again around Springfield Central today with operations possibly looking to wind back by the end of the week.

It was great day and great team work by all and from all our neighbouring brigades.
