WHAT WE DO
The brigade is regularly called to attend house, grass & forest fires, motor vehicle accidents and pile burns. The brigade also participates in Strike Teams for larger fires and hazard reductions around the state.
FIRE PERMITS
Depending on the zone you live in, you will either require a permit all year round (if you live in an area managed by Fire and Rescue NSW) or require a permit during the Bushfire Danger Period or where a fire is likely to be dangerous to a building if in an RFS zone.
GET PREPARED
It’s everyone’s responsibility to be prepared for an emergency. Click the button below for some valuable resources to help you prepare for a fire.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Remember a fire can threaten suddenly. If you are in an area that is being threatened by a bush fire you may receive an Emergency Alert to your landline or mobile telephone. You do not need to register for this. Other information is available:
