16.01.2022 Tasmania’s new state of the art aerial appliances have arrived! TFS has taken delivery of three new appliances from Germany. With platforms capable of reaching ...32 and 24 metres, they are used to fight fires in high rise building and to assist with rescues. You’ll see them around Hobart, Launceston and Burnie/Devonport soon. Do you think Ollie and Monty approve?

16.01.2022 Well done Bob. Such an important role.

12.01.2022 Not helpful to any Emergency Service. Just don’t do it!

12.01.2022 It’s confirmed that Santa 6.1 is on the way!

09.01.2022 Hazard icons across the country have a new consistent look. The new Australian Warning System introduces several changes to the way the community will be notifi...ed about hazards. We're rolling out the first stage of the changes to the Australian Warning System for bushfire in Tassie today. The changes will include the way bushfire warnings are displayed on the TFS website. From today, consistent colours will be used for: Advice (yellow), Watch and Act (orange); and Emergency Warning (red) The icon shapes will also change on maps from diamonds to triangles. While the colours and icons change, the meanings of the levels do not change. The changes are designed to bring consistency to the way warnings are displayed across Australia. Over time more states will use the new colours and icons and they will be used for other hazards like floods and storms. Further changes will occur in Tasmania in 2021, including enhancements to our warning messages. The Australian Warnings System is based on community research and good practice, in terms of what communities recognise and what gets people to take action during an emergency.

09.01.2022 Thank you PW&S Fire Crews. We look forward to working with you in the future.

07.01.2022 This photo is a devastating example of why people must ensure they don't leave flammable items too close to heaters and fire places. Crews from Franklin and Huo...nville were called to a fire just after 1:30pm yesterday to find this two bedroom home engulfed in flames and collapsed on the ground. Fire investigators this morning determined that clothing and other flammable items had been left too close to a woodheater and caught alight. Tasmania Fire Service responds to over 350 house fires each year, with heating being the second most common cause. When heaters are on and fireplaces are lit, flammable items must be kept at least two metres away.
