03.01.2022 Community Fire Units. A part of FRNSW we don’t often hear much about. These volunteers help protect their street and community. They don’t operate out of trucks but rather community fire unit trailers or street cabinets. They assist in pre fire arrival preparation and post fire black out. Helping out with hazard reduction near their street is all part of the service.

03.01.2022 Please see information regarding Total Fire Bans in our area and neighboring fire districts.
