We arrived in Belrose to a house well alight ...and thankfully brought it under control quite quickly. Given the conditions and proximity to bushland, could have been a lot worse. Thanks to Fire and Rescue NSW Station 069 Dee Why and Warringah / Pittwater Headquarters Rural Fire Brigade for giving us a hand, especially with water issues! The Manly Daily

18.01.2022 Have you got the Emergency Plus app? If so, make sure it has been updated for the latest features including support for What3Words. If not, why not? This app designed by Australian Emergency Services is easy to use, and will help you when talking to a 000 operator should the worst happen. It even gives you information about who to call for events that aren't emergencies.... Download details are included in the post below. #nswrfs #frnsw #NSWSES #HelpTripleZeroFindYou #EmergencyPlus #TripleZero #what3words

17.01.2022 Last night HQ Brigade had numerous training activities going with many members involved. DC Christian and 9 others went and spent a glorious evening on pittwater, conducting familiarisation on Elvina Boat (thanks to the West Pittwater crew for giving their time). At the station, Instructors ran through a familiarisation on the SWR (Safe working on Roofs) systems for our SWR members and those not SWR qualified so they understand the systems we use.... Also at station and outside, Trainers conducted BF training with our cohort of new members, and focused their evening on RFS Radios. As we start training to be ready for the coming Fire Season, it's a great time to consider your family and home's level of readiness in case of a bushfire. Making a Bushfire Survival Plan only takes a few minutes and could help save your life when the time comes. #NSWRFS #NorthernBeaches
