21.01.2022 Yesterday the names of another 14 fire and emergency service personnel were added to the AFAC National Memorial in Canberra, including 4 RFS members and the 3 American air crew who died whilst helping us. They died serving our communities and even in the challenging times it's important we honour them.
17.01.2022 Fact: Only 6.9% of NSW was impacted by bush fire in the 2019/20 fire season. This means there is a significant bush fire risk for the coming 2020/21 fire season. It only takes 5 minutes to improve or make a plan that will give your property, your family and yourself the best chance of survival.

16.01.2022 Congratulations Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons. Thoroughly deserved.
15.01.2022 Today (Sunday 27 Sep) the Brigade will be completing a hazard reduction burn on the western edge of Catherine Park. There will be crew, fire trucks and smoke in the area. The are to be burnt has changed since our earlier post. The area on the edge of the park and behind the community hall and kindy will be burnt. The area above the road will no longer be burnt today to allow NBC to treat the lantana in that area. Please avoid the area if you can and only call 000 if you see a fire and there is no crew in the area.
15.01.2022 Hazard Reduction - Scotland Island On Sunday 27th September, subject to weather, we are planning a hazard reduction burn on the western side of Catherine Park and up behind the kindy and community hall. This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of bush fire on the island.... A map of the area is attached. There will be fire trucks operating in the area and the roads and paths in the area could be blocked at times. Nearby residents are encouraged to keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering their homes, remove washing from cotheslines and make sure pets have a protected area. If you can, please avoid the area. Any changes to our plans will be posted here.
