24.01.2022 Today, Regentville 1 Bravo was replaced by... Regentville 1 Bravo! Our old work horse that has seen so much of NSW over the years and particularly in the last fire season has been handed over and a new Grasslands Category 1 Tanker has been given to the brigade. Although the new truck is a single cab, different to the rest of the fleet, it holds 1000 more litres and boasts a front mount monitor making work much easier with a crew of just 2!... It is a very welcomed addition to the Regentville family as the only of its kind in Cumberland Zone. It is now tucked away in the station getting to know the Pumper, 1 Alpha, PC and Boat that it will work along side of for many years to come! We wish our old Regentville 1 Bravo many more years of service as it makes its way to a new home and hope the crews enjoy the old girl as much as we have.

23.01.2022 An important message from our friends down south!

13.01.2022 Cumberland Zone Crews, including a crew from Regentville have all returned home from a fire burning in Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains District.

12.01.2022 23:59:59 2020 - STOP MESSAGE - #311220 The year 2020 has now received a stop message and we are awaiting for 2021 to be activated! It’s been a massive year for Regentville Brigade with almost 200 incident calls and we would like to thank all of our members, their families and our communities for the support we have received.... 2020 started with tragic bush fires, moved onto floods and is leaving us hanging with COVID still going around. It was a lot more to our members though, we were always there for each other during the fires, storm damage and lazy days down at the station. We saw a change in management, beautiful landscaping and a new truck, our Single Cab Grasslands Cat 1, Regentville 1 Bravo. With the prospects of the landscaping being completed and the possibilities of another new truck in 2021, let’s see what else the New Year can do to help us extinguish this bin fire known as 2020!

11.01.2022 You may have seen there are changes coming to the way bush fires are displayed on the NSW RFS website and the Fires Near Me NSW app. From early December, yellow, orange and red icons will be used for Advice, Watch and Act, and Emergency Warning. While the icons change, the names of the alert levels and what they mean do not change.... These are part of national changes, and a number of states and territories are working towards the start of December to start using the new icons. The changes are designed to bring consistency to the way incidents are shown, especially in border areas. Over time, more states will use the icons and they’ll be used for other types of emergencies like floods and cyclones.

11.01.2022 Congratulations to former NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons, tonight named the NSW Australian Of The Year. On accepting the award, Shane has... paid special tribute to the volunteers who worked to protect homes and lives last fire season, and particularly those who lost their lives. See more

10.01.2022 Today, Regentville RFB lined up with Londonderry, Castlereagh, Winmalee and many Hawkesbury District brigades to pay our respects and give a final farewell to Yarramundi Captain, Ed Cameron. Ed began his service in 1991 as a Regentville member before moving north in 1995 and making his way to the top spot in Yarramundi Brigade. Ed unfortunately passed away last week after a battle with cancer and will be missed by all!

10.01.2022 TOTAL FIRE BAN declared for the Greater Sydney Area due to SEVERE Fire Danger predicted!

08.01.2022 Earlier this evening, Regentville was called to assist Llandilo Brigade with a house fire. Fortunately, Llandilo Brigade had members on station performing essential maintenance and were on scene within minutes!

There are simple things you can do around your home to prepare it for a bush fire, like keeping the grass low and having a cleared area around your home.
