15.01.2022 Are you a woman who wants to help others? Wanting to do something different and challenge yourself? Well, this might be the thing for you! Tilligerry Rural Fire is recruiting. We would love to have some more women join our brigade alongside our only active woman firefighter Candice. There are many roles that you can partake in within the Brigade. Below is some that Candice is involved in and a bit about herself! ... *** I am a mum of 3 young boys, work part-time between two jobs with a hubby that works full-time. I am a Village Firefighter, BAO Operater, the Brigade's Social Media Officer, Community Engagement Officer, Executive Community Member and assist on training courses for new members and members moving up to other firefighter levels. I couldn't imagine not being part of this wonderful brigade. They are so family orientated and make everyone feel welcome. Hope to see you soon!! -> You can either pop into the station on Wednesday nights 6 30pm - 8pm or Saturdays 8 30am - 10am or can head over to : https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au//volunteering-/Join-the-NSW-RFS

13.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago we were called to an unknown fire at the skate park. On arrival crews found what was left of a small fire made with sticks and paperbark in the middle of the skate park. Saturday Night, 3rd of October, we were again called to an unknown fire near the skate park, and this time found a recycling bin burning on the skate park (first pic), with a second one nearby full of paperbark and cardboard being readied to burn. Last night (4th of October) we were call...ed yet again to the skate park, for a tree fire. On arrival crews found a paperbark tree well alight (fourth pic), as well as the smoldering remnants of another rubbish fire behind the skate ramps (third pic), and a pile of burnt sparklers and the lighter on the table (second pic). Not only is it illegal, but it is dangerous and could result in bushfires especially now that the weather is warming up and we have entered the Bushfire Danger Period.

13.01.2022 On Thursday 24th of September we attended a call for fire near Mallabulla Point. On arrival crews found a quickly escalating fire fanned by high winds. With assistance from NSW RFS - Williamtown / Salt Ash and NSW RFS - Medowie brigades, Tilligerry 1 working on foot, and Tilligerry 7A were able to contain the fire to approximately half a hectare. Picture one shows the campfire used the night before. Because of high winds, an ember has escaped what seems like an extinguished f...ire and started the resultant bushfire. The temperature in the base of the campfire at the time of this picture was 460'C. Picture 2 shows the access gate which Today has been closed and re-locked, and the slightly faded, but still clearly legible sign stating that camping and campfires are not allowed in the area. Always ensure any fire is completely extinguished prior to leaving it unattended, and make sure you are allowed to light up where you are before you do!

04.01.2022 48 HOURS OF SEVERE WEATHER TO COME - Bureau of Meteorology - 12:20PM, Monday 22nd March ... A strong high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea continues to drive widespread and persistent rain onto the New South Wales coast. This is expected to continue today, particularly about the Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers. Meanwhile, a low pressure trough in the state's west is deepening, bringing rain areas to the northern inland today. In this area, heavy rain is possible from the morning, becoming more likely in the afternoon and evening, extending to areas of the southeast over Tuesday. On Tuesday, as the trough reaches the Tasman Sea, a low pressure system may form, bringing increased rainfall, strong winds, damaging surf and abnormally high tides to the east and south. Most areas of New South Wales will see a clearing trend early Wednesday as a drier airmass moves into the region. EASTERN AREAS: HEAVY RAIN, likely leading to FLASH FLOODING, presents a SERIOUS RISK to the Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast today and on Tuesday. Some risk remains for the Hunter and Central Tablelands districts during this period, particularly given the saturated nature of catchments. Due to extensive flooding across the east, localised moderate rainfall may also bring the risk of FLASH FLOODING. In some areas, heavy rain and flooding may be LIFE-THREATENING. DAMAGING WINDS, averaging 60 to 70 km/h with peak gusts in excess of 90 km/h are possible along the coastal fringe south of Seal Rocks from Tuesday morning. VERY HEAVY SURF, which may lead to localised damage and coastal erosion is likely for areas of the coastline south of Moruya from Tuesday afternoon, as strong northeasterly winds build over the waters. Beach conditions in these areas could be dangerous and people should stay well away from the surf and surf exposed areas. ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES which may cause sea water flooding of low lying areas south of Moruya are also possible. Water levels could exceed the highest tide of the year during Tuesday morning's high tide as a storm surge moves into coastal areas. Roads in some areas are cut off by water, and there is an increased risk of landslips during this period. In addition, super-saturated soils along areas of the east bring an increased risk of moderately gusty winds toppling trees. River catchments in this area are wet, bringing an enhanced risk of renewed RIVERINE FLOODING. Numerous flood watches and warnings are current. Latest updates at http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/warnings/. WESTERN AREAS: HEAVY RAIN, likely leading to FLASH FLOODING, is forecast to develop in parts of the Upper Western, Central Tablelands, North West Slopes and Plains, and Central West Slopes and Plains forecast districts from this morning, becoming more likely in the afternoon and evening. Heavy rainfall will then extend to areas of the ACT, South Coast, Snowy Mountains and Northern Tablelands during Tuesday. There is an enhanced risk with any thunderstorm activity. Widespread rainfall may lead to RIVERINE FLOODING, and a Flood Watch is current for catchments on the western slopes. Locations which may be affected include #Lismore, #Grafton, #CoffsHarbour, #PortMacquarie, #Taree, #Newcastle, #Sydney, #Wollongong, #Nowra, #BatemansBay, #Armidale, #Orange, #Canberra, #Goulburn, #Tamworth, #Moree, #Dubbo, #Tibooburra, #Cobar and #Bourke.

01.01.2022 Please be advised that Tilligerry Rural Fire Brigade will NOT be conducting a Hazard Reduction in Lemon Tree Passage today. The area where the burn was to be conducted is sheltered from the gusting winds that are current, but due to safety precautions, it will now be postponed to a later date. Stay safe Tilligerry!
