24.01.2022 Fire Danger Rating for Monday 16th November is VERY HIGH. All permits suspended for 24 hours

21.01.2022 Yesterday the 26th of November, two of our members who are also part of RAFT (remote area firefighting team) were deployed to Casino, they are on standby with a helicopter.

20.01.2022 On Sunday our crew teamed up with NSW RFS Warrell Creek, Gumma Rural Fire Brigade and Talarm RFS in a combined training. The crews focussed on pumping and drafting work using both the trucks and portable pumps. The crew also participated in overrun drills to further their understanding on what to do during that situation. Thank you to all the members that attended and to Warrell Creek RFS for hosting the training.

20.01.2022 On this day last year NSW recorded 17 concurrent Emergency Warnings. Communities in the Blue Mountains, Clarence Valley, Richmond Valley, Walcha, Armidale, Namb...ucca, Kempsey, Tenterfield, and the Mid Coast were all being impacted by fire. At 6pm 94 fires were burning across the state. While the losses on that day were significant they could have been far worse were it not for the extraordinary efforts of firefighters and community members. See more
