25.01.2022 Today our members got together to remember last year's tragic fire season that affected so many. We were honoured to receive the NSW Premier's Bushfire Citation for the part our volunteers played in helping protect life and property. We thank the many volunteers and professional organisations that we joined along the way, sometimes for days, in trying to make a difference in often very difficult circumstances. We also remember and honour our fellow volunteers from agencies across the country who, in the line of duty, did not return to their families. This award is dedicated to them...

24.01.2022 Sad news out of yesterday's incident.

21.01.2022 Hazard Reduction Burn | We have joined Cooranbong Rural Fire Brigade and Mandalong Rural Fire Brigade this morning for a small hazard reduction burn in difficult terrain near Taylors Rd, Cooranbong. Smoke will be visible in the area for some time.

19.01.2022 INCIDENT CALL | Cooranbong On our way home from the Hazard Reduction Burn, we were called to assist Fire+Rescue NSW Station 383 Morisset and NSW Ambulance to retrieve a person who had fallen into Dora Creek and had to be lifted up a steep slope. There was some disruption to traffic around the Dora Creek bridge, but this has been resolved. Thanks to Cooranbong Rural Fire Brigade for your assistance.

12.01.2022 The fire season has officially begun. Remember the 5 easy steps to prepare your home. Give me a Like if your gutters are done!

11.01.2022 What a difference! Today, a lot of locals are wearing a jumper or taking an umbrella with them just in case because of the overcast cool and sometimes wet weather. This is a good thing. But please do not become complacent. Read this post below. It can happen again. Why not use this "quiet" time to prepare your properties? After all, the holiday season will be upon us very soon and you may not get time then. Visit myfireplan.com.au for more information on how you can prepare for fire.

10.01.2022 Fact: Bush fires are unpredictable and in dangerous conditions, you may not get an Emergency Alert message in time. It’s important that you stay up to date on conditions in your area and that you have made a bush fire survival plan. Leaving early is your safest option. Improve or make your fire plan at myfireplan.com.au #getreadyweekend

09.01.2022 Fact: Your safest option is to leave early. A bush fire can be a terrifying situation, intense heat and flames will make you tire quickly, it will be difficult to see and breathe. You may become confused or disorientated. Powerlines and fallen trees can block roads and make driving dangerous. It’s always better to leave early, before the fire arrives. Visit myfireplan. com.au and make a bush fire survival plan, it will help you make important decisions like when to leave or what you need to be prepared to stay. #getreadyweekend

05.01.2022 KNOW YOUR RISK: You don’t have to live right near the bush to be at risk. Even if your home is a few streets back, you may be at risk. Can you guess the main reason homes are lost to bush fires? #getreadyweekend

04.01.2022 Fact: There will never be as many fire trucks as there are houses. Do not depend on a fire truck being available at your home. But if you and your home are well prepared, you stand a better chance of surviving a bush fire. There are simple things you can do around your home to prepare it for a bush fire, like keeping the grass low and having a cleared area around your home.
