25.01.2022 Thanks to the management and team at Woolworths Eastern Creek Quarter for donating the drinks and condiments for our BBQ at Bunnings today! Your support is greatly appreciated!

24.01.2022 Unfortunately we are advising that the remainder the Santa Runs have been cancelled due to COVID Restrictions implemented by NSW Health and the RFS. This is to ensure that we are still able to meet the day to day response to emergencies, in our community. We apologise for having to cancel these events and will advise any changes . Santa has ensured us that he will still be able to visit all the good children on Christmas Eve, and that the reindeer (and Santa) have been given exemptions to travel.

23.01.2022 *Incident Call* At 1400 hrs Plumpton along with other Cumberland brigades were paged to multiple reported fires at Knox Road. Plumpton 7 proceeded under direction of Llandilo OIC and upon arrival, large amounts of smoke were observed inside the Western Sydney Parklands. Plumpton 7 worked alongside Llandilo 1 to extinguish one of the fires, while other Cumberland units handled the other fires that had formed elsewhere in the parklands. By around 1500 hrs, all fires were extin...guished and units began to depart the scene, Llandilo 1 remained onscene while Plumpton 7 departed to go refill the water tank and then returned to assist Llandilo 1, the Fire Investigation Unit and Cumberland Ops 3 with blacking out any smouldering spots using our live reels and rake hoes, while they completed their fire investigations on the affected areas, our handheld FLIR thermal camera was also used to detect hot spots and ensure it was cooled down. At around 1720 hrs both Plumpton 7 and Llandilo 1 were returning back to their stations when another call came in on the radio at the same area for reported smoke, both units returned on scene again to find a log in one of the affected areas, still slightly smouldering, foam was used to blanket that entire area and the FLIR was used once again to ensure it was fully cooled down and no longer hot. By 1800 hrs both units departed the scene and returned to their respective stations.
