25.01.2022 Training continues: Following on from our RCR training Mon night firefighters had a visit from the FRNSW Breathing Apparatus truck last night. The truck is set ...up to simulate a small apartment fire with persons reported inside. The truck is filled with "smoke" which creates an atmosphere as experienced in a real fire situation with zero visibly but not as much heat. Firefighters use door entry techniques to enter with a charged hose line and carry out a primary and secondary search of the apartment. Last night firefighters managed to rescue all 5 patients from the "burning" apartment and get them to medical assistance. Training continues next week where firefighters will be completing their annual fitness assessments. See more

09.01.2022 In the early hours of approximately 2:10am this morning, Banora Point firefighters were responded to the report of a House Fire, in Coyne Street Coolangatta (...Kirra), along with Fire and Rescue NSW Station 468 Tweed Heads and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services - QFES. En-route, reports were coming through of multiple persons reported and trapped and multiple persons self evacuating from windows. Flame and smoke could be seen from some distance and it was evident to arriving crews that this was a major fire. Firefighters arrived on scene and got to work with multiple 38mm & 70mm hose lines to commence a primary search and also protect exposures and prevent further fire extension to adjoining units. Thankfully no persons had to be transported by ambulance and the primary and secondary searches were gave the all clear. Fire and Rescue NSW worked alongsIde Queensland Fire and Emergency Services - QFES firefighters for some time to contain the incident. A plan was devised for each agency to monitor different sectors and share tasks as required. The operation was seamless and our mutual aid agreement showed its true potential. Multiple units were severely destroyed by smoke and fire. FRNSW issued a stop message at 4:16am whilst QFES remains on scene to extinguish hotspots and investigate further.

03.01.2022 23 November 2020 - Update

02.01.2022 ASBESTOS INCIDENT On Friday the 11th of September, Kingscliff Fire fighters, along with Murwillumbah rural fire service and Tweed Heads Fire Rescue Hazma...t crew were called to Cranneys Road North Tumbulgum to reports of an illegally dumped load of asbestos sheeting down an embankment. On arrival crews found what looked to be a tipper truck equivalent load of asbestos sheeting dumped down a drainage gully. Crews utilised Stotts Creek waste managements asbestos identifying equipment to positively identify it was asbestos. Once positively identified crews carried out a risk assessment of the scene and agreed it was too late to get to work to render the area safe on the Friday as the daylight was running out. This morning at 0900 Kingscliff Crews along with Tweed Heads Hazmat crew and Tweed Heads Bravo appliance were called back to Cranneys Road to start to render the asbestos safe. A safety briefing and contingency plan was carried out with all crew on site before work commenced. Due to the very steep incline, crews started with digging a safe trail for access to the bottom of the gully to access the sheeting. Disposable suits, gloves, masks and safety glasses were all donned and crews got to work wetting down and bagging the asbestos rendering it safe. In total crews spent over 7 hours at this site over the two days. It was challenging and gruelling work by all involved, however everyone got in and got the job done safely and effectively. If you have any information about this dumped asbestos sheeting, report to the Environmental Protection Agency. The website is linked below. https://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/ This kind of dumping not only is a health risk to humans, but causes massive effects on the environment in which it is dumped.
