20.01.2022 The results from the qualifying round of the 2020 NSW RFS State Championships are in - and Narrabri has 2 teams that have qualified for the Grand Final! Narrabr...i Juniors and the Narrabri Senior team both came in a very respectable 2nd place - competing against brigades from all over the state. They were tested on their firefighting skills, speed, agility, mapping, navigation, communication, and their ability to get important community education information out to their communities. Congratulations to our two crews - we are proud of you, and wish you all the best in the Grand Final!

19.01.2022 Training Opportunity. Community Field Liaison has been a critical role that was formally piloted throughout the 2019/2020 bush fire season. Since, we have reviewed the role and its training and are now rolling out the CFL Workshop in many locations across the state. I am asking that you share this EOI with your membership. Whilst we are aiming not to have anyone miss out, in cases that numbers in the area are greater then what we are able to host, districts will be asked to p...rioritise. If you would like take part in this training opportunity Please contact your local FCC for the nomination form

11.01.2022 This time next week we’ll know our NSW RFS State Champions for 2020. Will Oakville be able to defend their title or will Narrabri finally take out the top spot... after finishing in the places for the last two events. Davidson and Ku-ring-gai looked good in qualifying and you can’t discount newbies Mt Keira and Southampton after their strong showing. In the junior competition traditional powerhouses St Paul’s are back with Riverina Highlands and Northern Tablelands. Narrabri continues to punch above their weight with the small rural brigade again qualifying in both streams while newcomers Mamre and Thurgoona looked like contenders in qualifying. Thanks to our team of wonderful partners like Coates Hire, the teams will all be competing close to home at sites in Balldale, The Oaks and Inverell. So who’s got Narrabri for the clean sweep?

06.01.2022 Get Ready Weekend - Register now Registrations for Get Ready Weekend 2020 are open and brigades are invited to register their events. Get Ready Weekend is a core community engagement activity for the NSW RFS and the largest mobilisation of firefighters outside of firefighting operations. ... Preparing for the upcoming bush fire season is as important as it has ever been. The 2019/2020 fire season was unprecedented in its scale and impact on NSW communities. Some communities were affected by the fires, some came close and others remain at a high risk. In some areas Get Ready Weekend may be the opportunity for community members to share stories about last season and seek advice on how best to prepare. Get Ready Weekend is the key way that Brigades can assist their communities to prepare for the next fire season. Despite physical distancing restrictions associated with Coronavirus (COVID-19) Get Ready Weekend will proceed however we have provided you with some alternative formats this year. This year GRW will be available in three different formats; Local Event (observing NSW Health Guidelines) Online Meeting Social Media campaign When holding face to face Get Ready events, please continue to observe NSW Health guidelines. Registration The peak of activity will take place on the weekend of 19-20 September, however we do encourage Brigades to nominate a date that best suits their community if they wish. Brigades may wish to undertake one, two, or all three types of events this year. Events will be promoted on the NSW RFS public website, so please ensure your registration is submitted by 31 July 2020. Resources An array of resources will be available to brigades for all three types of involvement. This year Brigades have the ability to order their own standard resource pack, via our new Shout site and have the pack delivered to their preferred address. A link will be provided following completion of registration. The new Shout site is an online ordering platform for all Community Engagement resources available to order. Some resources must still be ordered through the District offices. Please allow seven days for delivery.

03.01.2022 Our Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: December 2020 February 2021 is out today, and shows that large parts of NSW west of the Great Dividing Range face ab...ove normal fire conditions, as well as grassland areas of the ACT and into north eastern Victoria. Grass and crop fires are the main concern in these locations for the summer months as the growth dries out in the warmer weather. WA has largely missed out on the rainfall in 2020 and conditions are very dry, with parts of the south and south west coasts expecting above normal fire conditions through summer.
