25.01.2022 Bit of a peek from behind the scenes when organising training - spent most of yesterday out around Lithgow assessing the suitability for activity locations

23.01.2022 Traffic Safety, Flood Rescue Awareness and Height & Safety Kits @ Portland Unit. Lithgow, Portland, Burraga & Molong attended.

22.01.2022 Best of luck to all those attending Penrith Swift Water Awareness today! We have one member from Lithgow, a couple from Oberon and a bus load from Bathurst attending!

21.01.2022 What goes up when the rain goes down? An umbrella! As you know we have had some rain, so far the NSW SES has received just over 5,000 requests for assistance along the eastern seaboard. ... 100 of those jobs are flood rescues. Driving through floodwater is extremely dangerous, it very well could be the last thing you do. Floodwater is extremely unpredictable and dangerous. Remember, if its flooded, forget it. #NSWSES #BigWet
