25.01.2022 This afternoon at 1358, both Rescue Pumper and Pumper 428 were responded to a truck fire in Queanbeyan West. Whilst enroute to the truck fire, P428 was redirected by Newcastle Fire Communications to a grass fire on the border of the ACT and NSW. Whilst RP428 and our Permanent crew attended to the Truck Fire, P428 and our Retained Crew repositioned to High St Queanbeyan and commenced knocking down the fire as the first arriving appliance. ACT Fire and Rescue, Queanbeyan City R...ural Fire Brigade and Ridgeway Rural Fire Brigade arrived soon after and assisted in blacking out and mopping up operations. The fireground has now been handed over to ACTFR and ACTRFS. ACT Emergency Services Agency NSW RFS Lake George Zone Office

25.01.2022 GET READY WEEKEND | A well-prepared home is more likely to survive a bushfire. Can you spot the 5 actions needed to prepare this property? There are 5 simple st...eps to prepare a property for bush fires: 1. Trim overhanging trees and shrubs to stop the spread of fire. 2. Mow grass and remove the cuttings, have a cleared area around your home. 3. Remove material that can burn, like wood piles and furniture. 4. Clear debris from your gutters to stop embers causing a fire. 5. Prepare a sturdy hose or hoses that can reach around your home and make sure you’ve got a reliable source of water. Remember, you need to prepare well beforehand as leaving it to the last minute is too late. Get prepared now at myfireplan.com.au #PreparedForAnything #ProtectTheIrreplaceable

10.01.2022 Update at midday: Queanbeyan River rising and expected to peak around 3 or 4 this afternoon at about 5m. This will flood road and pedestrian bridge on Morisset ...St. Morisset St is about to be closed due to water over the road. Rain is continuing to fall across the region with many roads now closed or impacted by rising waters. Roads affected include Briars Sharrow, Captains Flat Rd, Majara and Molonglo Sts in Bungendore, Bungendore Rd, Bombay crossing, Oaks Estate crossing(pictured: credit Queanbeyan Community Noticeboard) and many more.

Drivers are reminded to take extreme care, pay close attention to roadside flood indicators, keep an eye out for washed out areas of unsealed roads, and DO NOT attempt to drive through flooded causeways or over flooded bridges.

08.01.2022 What’s at the end of a rainbow? If you answered one of 428’s firefighters testing a 70mm branch, then you’d be correct! We go to great lengths (of hose) to ensure all our gear is well maintained, tested and ready for use. Our 70mm branches (fire brigade terminology for a nozzles) and hoses are primarily used for large structural fires. As we like to say big fire=big water!...

07.01.2022 Our rescue manikin was a bit of a dummy and was having a bad day. He had a car crash in the training yard of the fire station. It's lucky we had the whole team on board to help him out. #preparedforanything... Region South Area Command See more

06.01.2022 We’re not going to lie, we’re a little bit jealous of our friends in blue just down the road at Monaro Police District and their new mate Ted the Wombat. Great work legends
