22.01.2022 It was a terrible day and the whole of the country came together to help. 7 February 2009 46.4C maximum temperature 173 lives lost... 400+ fires 414 injured 2,029 homes destroyed 7,567 people displaced 78 communities directly impacted 450,000+ hectares burnt It was Black Saturday. Today we remember those that lost their lives, their homes, their properties, their loved ones, and their animals, and gratefully thank all those who worked tirelessly to bring an end to the devastation on that day, and in the immensely difficult days that followed. The people, communities and landscapes of Victoria were forever changed that day. We stand with those who with great hope and courage are still grieving and recovering, and acknowledge those who continue to work with affected individuals and communities. Together, we remember.

18.01.2022 We have all probably seen the Facebook posts paying homage to the fact that last year the season kicked of around now? Please don’t forget to check in with yourself and mates. Talk about last year. If you can’t talk about it to them, call CIS, or lifeline. Reach out. The next 6 months or so WILL trigger things in some of those that experienced what we went through. ... And that is ok. Have a conversation about it if you can. We all walked away with different feelings and experiences. None of those are wrong. Thinking of you all that might be feeling a bit or remembering last year. Talking helps. CRITICAL INCIDENT SUPPORT: 1800 049 933 LIFELINE: 131114 See more

16.01.2022 Unit Citation - Southern Tablelands Strike Team Echo 1. Today is St Florian's Day, a very special day for firefighters as we pause to acknowledge and commemora...te firefighters in their service to the community and come together to acknowledge volunteers and staff who have gone above and beyond at an awards ceremony. Whilst this year circumstance has meant that the awards ceremony has been postponed, in addition to thanking and congratulating all recipients, a very special congratulations to our own Southern Tablelands Strike Team Echo 1 who have received the Commissioners Certificate of Commendation (unit). On 10 March 2019 Strike Team Echo 1 left the Southern Tablelands Zone for Dargo, Victoria, to assist colleagues with the fires in their state. This strike team was made up of crews and combined crews that had for the most part never worked significantly or at all, with any of the other crew members. About half an hour south of Cooma the strike team came upon a single vehicle motor vehicle accident on the Monaro Highway that had only just occurred. The vehicle was far from safe, precariously placed on its side in a dry creek bed/culvert with the bleeding and trapped elderly male driver still belted in at the upper aspect of the wreck. A number of firefighters stabilised the vehicle by hand. Others made the electrical system safe and provided external protection, traffic management, called for assistance, and a range of other tasks. Qualified paramedic, Firefighter Richard Forshaw entered the vehicle from above to assist the patient. There was noticeable smoke emanating from the dashboard airbag area which continued to worsen after the electrical system was disconnected. One of the firefighters retrieved and discharged an AFFF extinguisher to eliminate the ongoing threat of fire. The driver suffered a serious fracture to the leg, facial injuries and most importantly, was being crushed by his own weight against the seatbelt from which he was being suspended. The firefighting team, led superbly by Deputy Group Captain Neil Shepherd, rallied to assist by retrieving lengths of 38mm hose to wrap around the patient, to spread the load of his weight, which was causing immense pain to his left side chest area. The weight was taken by more of the firefighters outside the vehicle. With a plan to lower the patient gently onto a spine board, the team held the weight until the patient was observed to be slipping, the team then lowered the patient onto the left side windows of the vehicle. Unfortunately, by this stage further rescue services had not arrived so the spine board was unable to be placed. With the arrival of rescue services, the vehicle was stabilised and the 78-year-old patient was subsequently extricated from the vehicle and carried up the hill using an "all hands approach" before being transported to hospital. The crews continued on their way south, ultimately arriving about 2330 hours that night, before commencing operations with our Victorian colleagues the following morning. Southern Tablelands Zone Strike Team Echo 1 are worthy recipients of the Commissioner's Certificate of Commendation (Unit).

15.01.2022 What a difference a year makes. On 29 October 2019 there was nearly 100 bush fires burning across the state, with some fires at Emergency Warning level. Twelve ...months to the day, weather conditions are very different, as is the level of fire activity. Remember fire conditions will return, so why not take the time now to discuss your plan with your family. See more

15.01.2022 Message from NSW RFS Southern Tablelands Zone We have been bombarded with burn notifications at the Fire Control Centre this week which is a strong indication that the vast majority of us are going to be spending the long weekend at home cleaning up the yard. However, it has been a little bit concerning that a small number have freely admitted to us that they are travelling from out of the area to their weekenders to do so. ... We all have a role to play to #flattenthecurve and keep our community safe. Importantly, the last thing we want is our volunteer firefighters having to attend unnecessary call-outs which could potentially place them at risk. Please respect the threat and the community enough and #stayathome. Don't forget, the person you may have to justify your travel to over the weekend may be a member of the NSW Police Force.

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
