15.01.2022 A very big and special THANK YOU to Jackie and the team at Wyong Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank who kindly donated $2,000 to our Brigade at their Annual General Meeting last night. This is such an important donation that we intend to use to improve our kitchen facilities at our fire station, helping our volunteer firefighters to protect the community. It looks like we may actually need to come into the branch to deposit the cheque though...

07.01.2022 To our visitor to the Central Coast Fire Control Centre yesterday, our Brigade has one simple message.

You forgot to sign in!Signing in is an important step for all essential visitors (and we would hardly consider your business essential) for the purpose of contact tracing. We would appreciate if you could please complete your sign in using the below QR code so as to provide your particulars should we need to get in touch.... #nswrfs #nswrfscentralcoast #covidsafe

06.01.2022 Santa’s coming to town Don’t have to worry about Santa this year because he and his reindeer have been granted an official exemption from isolating!

03.01.2022 During the early morning of the 5th November firefighters from Tuggerah Rural Fire Brigade, Berkeley Vale Rural Fire Brigade and other emergency services were called to a house fire in Fountaindale. Upon arrival firefighters located a garage on fire which was quickly extinguished before it could spread to the rest of the house. To our surprise, today we receive a heartfelt letter from the owners of the property who were able to self evacuate during the fire. It’s the little things that mean a lot to our members, and we are glad you are ok. Fires can occur at any time and this incident is a timely reminder to check your smoke alarms are working properly. #nswrfs #nswrfscentralcoast #tuggerahrfb
