22.01.2022 Congratulations to the Captain of Narooma RFS. Sophie Taylor received her Long Service Medal last week for 10 years service. At the tender age of 27 your dedication and commitment to the service and our community is inspiring and Your leadership and command through the Tathra fire and last summers fires was outstanding, Bring on the next 10 years Captain Courageous

22.01.2022 Narooma Brigade is conducting a pile burn in Lilyvale Pl, smoke and flame could be visible from a distance. Remember We are now during the permit only time! You cannot burn without a permit. If you require a permit please call 44761112.

16.01.2022 Today we are located at the Narooma Markets, feel free to come and ask questions and receive your fire plan pack full of all the useful information to help protect your family and home during this fire season.

14.01.2022 Always on call! A relaxing weekend off camping west in the Illawarra, a bit of excitement thrown in. It was 37 degrees and the wind picked up. These campers left there site and the wind blew a camp chair into the fire from the previous night. Although it looked out it clearly had enough heat to ignite the chair and then quickly spread through the green grass towards their camptrailer, gas bottle and jerrycan approx 1.5m away from where we stopped it. On return the campers wer...e grateful and couldn’t believe how easily this had happened. They have learnt a valuable lesson. We can not stress the importance of making sure campfires are completely out before leaving the campsite or having someone in attendance with burning campfires at all times. It also pays to have a water bucket or water supply within reach. If it weren’t for the quick thinking of two of Narooma’s local fire fighters this incident could have been catastrophic. Remember with this hot weather and gusting winds fires can get out of control fast. If you see anything suspicious, or if you are concerned about smoke/fire or someone is burning when there is TOBAN in place please call 000 immediately.

11.01.2022 Graham Cummins and the Narooma Men's Bowling Club held a charity bowls day to raise funds for our brigade early last year. They attracted 98 bowlers to the day and were able to raffle off twenty donated items. Several people just made cash donations and Club Narooma donated $100 worth of vouchers as well as providing the venue. They raised a substantial amount of $3000.00 that they donated to the our Narooma brigade. Due to COVID we were unable to organise a public handove...r of the donation at the time. On behalf of our brigade I would like to Thank you all for your efforts and support. As volunteers we dedicate a lot of time and personal funds into maintaining our station and equipment to be able to respond in times of need for our community which we love and value being apart of.

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 c...onditions in your area and that you have made a bush fire survival plan. Leaving early is your safest option.

09.01.2022 Four members of Narooma crew among many others from Div 6 were lucky enough to attend the RFSA 2021 Conference held in the Hunter Valley at Crowne Plaza on the weekend. The RFSA opened the Saturday morning event with our video which was made by some of our members about our experience in the 2019-20 fires. The video provoked tears, smiles and laughs. The conference provided many speakers , Commissioner Rob Rogers, Shane Fitzsimmons commissioner of Resilience, Paul and Brent ...from surf life saving speaking of the advantages of UAV drone use, Dr Michael Eburn who spoke on Australian Emergency Law, Professor Ross Bradstock who spoke on Environment risk management of bushfires, Paul Scott manager for mental health within the RFS, who forever has our back and is focused on the recovery of our firefighters and Matina Jewell and Rachel Robertson who shared the stories of their extraordinary journeys. These ladies are absolutely inspiring and I recommend you research them and listen to what they have to say. A huge Thankyou to RFSA president Brian McDonough and all the RFSA crew for inviting us and allowing us to show our story and to Crowne Plaza for hosting an amazing event and supplying us with an abundance of food. Andrew Klein you are one of the greatest MC’s We have had the pleasure of listening to, you had everyone’s attention. Thankyou for making the conference that even more enjoyable.

09.01.2022 Today we’re flying our flags at half mast to mark the anniversary of the start of the Currowan bushfire. The Black Summer fires devastated 79 per cent of ou...r shire’s landscape, with the loss of three lives and more than 500 homes destroyed. It’s been traumatic year and the coming weeks will be tough for many in the community. At this time of reflection, we are grateful to the emergency responders who protected us, and we honour the courage of so many residents who worked together to provide safety and comfort in those dark days.

03.01.2022 There is a few more days before Cutoff date. But if any of our following parents know of any young ladies 15-19yrs who would like to challenge themselves in a safe environment, learn new skills, possibly find a new career path of interest or simply just make new friends this is the camp for them. So many great experiences packed into a few days.

03.01.2022 Bush fire danger period starts tomorrow for the Eurobodalla. You will need a permit for any burning off.

02.01.2022 For training this week we helped one of our members, Alan Fridley with a pile burn at his property. While we were there, our Captain, Sophie Taylor, presented him with his long service medal.
