25.01.2022 HAPPY SPRING! | Ring in the new season (literally) by testing your smoke alarm is working! The first day of a new season is the perfect reminder to test your s...moke alarms and give them a vacuum! Working smoke alarms help save lives and the risk of a fatality in a home fire is halved if there is a working smoke alarm in a residential dwelling.

21.01.2022 A massive shout out to Brad Jones Racing who have donated a Rim and rear centre bar from Nick Percat's #8 Super Car to our Mo Brother Jarrod Hayes. Jarrod is offering these items as a package to be tendered to raise money for Movember. All funds raised will be donated to Movember. Tenders are now open and will close at 5pm 25/11/20. Leave your tender price in the comments. Highest price tendered at 5pm 25/11/20 will be the successful purchaser with that person to make payment to Jarrod by the 27/11/20. Items are to be picked up in Albury. There is an opportunity that Jarrod can have the items signed by the BJR drivers on December 11th at the successful purchasers request. Good luck and thanks for your support

20.01.2022 INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY Accelerant detection dogs, Xando, Gandalf and Xenos are not only adorable, they are also very important assistants for firefighters and... other emergency services. With a sense of smell 100,000 times more acute than a human’s, ADCs are able to detect fire accelerant in smaller concentrations than any portable scientific equipment currently available. These talented canines can even be sent into crowds of spectators at large fires to sniff out traces of accelerant on arsonists who have returned to the scene of their crime. We appreciate our very clever furry friends (and their amazing handlers) today and every day. #MoreThanFire #PreparedForAnything #InternationalDogDay

20.01.2022 BA training with the BA Semi last night at 206 Station. The inside of the semi trailer can be filled with smoke and set up to simulate inside a house.

18.01.2022 Thinking of heading to bed with a wheat bag tonight? Think again! Only use wheat bags for direct application to body aches and pains.

11.01.2022 Yesterday afternoon at 4:45 pm we received a 000 call of a large grass fire just on the edge of town. Upon our arrival, the fire was in long grass and trees he...ading in two directions towards a farmers crop and town. We worked quickly to extinguish the flames before it did get into the crop or before it got any closer to town. After a large effort from Fire and Rescue and our Local RFS brigades, the fire was contained to its original paddock. Thank you to Fire and Rescue 206 and to the RFS for providing us support.

06.01.2022 FIRE SAFETY TIP #04 | Cigarettes can be deadly in more ways than one. House and grass fires are commonly caused by improperly extinguished or tossed cigarettes....

05.01.2022 Caravans and campervans have limited escape options in the event of a fire. You have just a few seconds to get out of a burning caravan, as they are constructed... of lightweight and and potentially highly combustible fittings. A working smoke alarm can mean the difference between life and death. Make sure your caravan or motor home has a working smoke alarm to ensure your holiday memories are good ones. If there is a fire, act fast. Get out, stay out, and call Triple Zero (000).
