12.01.2022 WEEKEND INCIDENTS | It's been a busy 24 hours for the brigade attending five incidents. Last night Rouse Hill Brigade teamed up with NSW RFS - Box Hill Nelson Brigade to extinguish a grass fire in Box Hill. This morning the brigade assisted with power lines down in Annangrove and a bush fire in Middle Dural. Later in the day, we provided fire protection for Helitak 413 that was refuelling for the Whitehaven Rd, Northmead fire. Late this afternoon assistance was also provide...d to Kenthurst Rural Fire Service with a fire on Pitt Town Rd, Kenthurst. With the hot weather ramping up for summer, make or revise your Bush Fire Survival Plan. This is especially important for homes in Rouse Hill that back onto or are near the bush. https://www.myfireplan.com.au/ Members M.Tregear and C. Screaton

04.01.2022 On this day last year NSW recorded 17 concurrent Emergency Warnings. Communities in the Blue Mountains, Clarence Valley, Richmond Valley, Walcha, Armidale, Namb...ucca, Kempsey, Tenterfield, and the Mid Coast were all being impacted by fire. At 6pm 94 fires were burning across the state. While the losses on that day were significant they could have been far worse were it not for the extraordinary efforts of firefighters and community members. See more

Mow grass & remove cuttings. Have a clear area around your home. 3. Remove material that can burn around your home. 4. Clear debris & leaves from the gutters. 5.
