23.01.2022 STATIC WATER SUPPLY | Do you know what a static water supply is? It could be a dam, creek, large water tank or even a swimming pool. These are what we use in the event of a bushfire when there’s no other source of water available to us. If you have a Static water supply we can arrange a SWS sign to be fitted to the front of your property. This allows firefighters to quickly identify where sufficient water supply is in the event of a bushfire. Help us protect your property. ...Send us a message and we can send our community safety team out to see you #nswrfs Pictorial News - Helensburgh 2508mag Northern Illawarra
