🔥🍖 DON’T LET YOUR BBQ GET TOO FIRED UP! 🍖🔥

Spring is a good time to get the BBQ ready for warmer weather. ☀️

🧽 Clean away built-up grease and fat from grills, trays and drip pans before firing it up.

While you’re there:

🔍 Check gas hoses and connections
⚠️ Look for any signs of damage or leaks

A quick clean and check now means you’ll be ready when BBQ season really gets cooking. 🔥🌭

📟 ONE BEEP CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.📟

One minute you're living your everyday life.

The next, you're heading to the station.

This little pager doesn't know if it's dinner time.
It doesn't know if you're at work.
It doesn't know if you're spending time with your family.

It simply tells us one thing...

Someone needs help.

And that's all our firefighters need to know.

We're proud to answer the call whenever our community needs us.

From all of us at Abermain 202 — Happy Birthday ! 🎂🔥

🔥 WHAT'S HIDING IN YOUR GARAGE? 🔥

Garages often store more than just cars and tools—they can also contain some of the biggest fire risks around the home.

Take a few minutes today to check:

✅ Is fuel stored safely in approved containers?
✅ Are batteries charging on a hard, non-flammable surface?
✅ Are power points free from clutter and overloaded adaptors?
✅ Can you get out quickly if you needed to?

A tidy, well-organised garage isn't just easier to use—it can also help reduce the risk of fire.

A few simple checks today could make a big difference tomorrow.

Stay safe, Abermain. 🚒

🍳🔥 Unattended cooking is the leading cause of house fires in NSW 🔥🍳
Most kitchen fires start the same way — someone walks away “just for a minute.”
If you need to leave the kitchen:
✅ Turn the stove off
✅ Move tea towels and items away from heat
✅ Keep an eye on what’s cooking at all times
A hot pan only takes moments to start a fire.
Cold dinner beats a house fire every time 👨‍🚒
Be fire safe this winter.

🚪🔥 Have an escape plan before you ever need one 🔥🚪
When smoke is filling the hallway, there won’t be time to stop and think.
Take a few minutes tonight to:
✅ Find two ways out of every room
✅ Choose a safe meeting place outside
✅ Walk through the plan with everyone in the house — kids included
The best time to make an escape plan is before an emergency happens.
Plan it now, while it’s still just a plan 👨‍🚒
Be fire safe this winter.

🏡 IS YOUR HOME EASY TO FIND?

Emergency services rely on clear property identification to respond as quickly as possible.

Today, take 30 seconds to check:
✅ Can your house number be seen from the road?
✅ Is it visible after dark?
✅ Is anything blocking it from view?

It’s a simple task that could save precious time in an emergency.
