25.01.2022 Good advice for Milsons Passage too!

24.01.2022 This fire occurred when wood was stored too close to a combustion heater ignited - keep a clear area at least one meter around any heater in your house. With a cold snap predicted FRNSW Richmond urges all Hawkesbury residents to take extra care with home fire safety

24.01.2022 Congratulations CPt David Williams - well done on passing your CL with flying colors

22.01.2022 *** St Florian's Day *** Today marks St Florian's Day. St Florian is the Patron Saint of Firefighters and is said to have extinguished an entire village on fire... with a single bucket of water. Traditionally this day recognises our volunteers and staff who have gone above and beyond with the presentation of bravery and service awards. This year we're unable to meet but still want to recognise those being named as award recipients today. Read their stories here: https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au//general-n/st-florians-day-2020

20.01.2022 Hi Folks ... this weekend is Get Ready Weekend on the Passage; and the big handsome poster boy on the Zoom screen would like to invite you to a quick meeting and a sausage sizzle on Sunday 4 October from 10:00am at the fire shed. If the new stretcher is there, we'll get to play with that as well.

20.01.2022 The first major HR for the up coming fire season at Canoelands - conducted over two days with our colleagues at NPWS. The Canoelands area is on the doorstep of the beautiful Marramurra NP in the Hawkesbury River area. The combined Hawkesbury River team lead by Cpt Dave Williams from MP - Chis from Brooklyn - Martin from Dangar ( driving ) and Brett also from MP - participated on the ‘new’Brooklyn 1 as part of the combined Hornsby / Hills strike team. A long, busy and very pr...oductive day on the fire ground helping to protect the Northern flank of the Hornsby shire from future bush fire activity A great job from all who participated !! - See more
