Thanks to our NSW RFS and Fire and Rescue NSW crews for their work in Helensburgh today. Crews have completed the Old Princes Highway hazard reduction. Work continues on the burn near Garrawarra. Please only call triple zero if you see a fire without a fire truck in attendance.

Illawarra statutory bush fire period will commence 1st of September, one month earlier than usual due to dry conditions. Fire Permits will be required. Live or work in a bushfire prone area? Prepare a Bush Fire Survival plan!

The Bureau of Meteorology, New South Wales have today issued updated Seasonal Outlooks for next 3 months. Hotter and drier than normal conditions expected to continue. Not good for drought or fire season #NSWRFS Preparation is key rfs.nsw.gov.au reg.bom.gov.au/climate/outloo…

A new road rule applies from today. When you see red and blue flashing lights on an emergency vehicle stopped on the road, slow down to 40km/h. We're looking out for you, are you looking out for us? #nswrfs

The new NSW RFS commercial is confronting and eerily realistic. Ahead of what could be another deadly season authorities are making no apologies for the graphic ad. Lorraine Bradley still struggles to look at flames 16 years after her home was decimated by the Engadine bushfire.

Tick tock, tick tock, it’s almost time to change your clock. Beep, beep, a smoke alarm will wake you from your sleep. Having a working smoke alarm, reduces the risk of you coming to harm. Help a neighbour if they can’t reach theirs, fire safety tips you should share.

8 recipients were awarded the National Emergency Medal, for sustained and significant service in response to the 2019/20 fires in NSW. 6 more members will be presented with the award in the near future. Congratulations to all the members

Take a minute and change your batteries. Smoke alarms are a sound you can live with.

Keeping our volunteers safe: NSW Government has announced the introduction of 40kph speed limits around emergency vehicles. #NSWRFS welcomes the introduction of the laws to help protect our volunteers & other emergency services personnel when they’re attending emergency incidents
