Fire and Rescue NSW Station 217 Batemans Bay

31/05/2026

1 June is Smoke Alarm Action Day.

Fire and Rescue NSW, together with fire services across Australia, is urging people to check they have a working smoke alarm.

Last year, nearly half the homes damaged or destroyed by fire in NSW did not have a working smoke alarm. A working smoke alarm is your best early warning sign of a fire, giving you and your loved ones the chance to get out, stay out, and call Triple Zero (000).

Happy Mother's Day to every mum out there.

A special shoutout to our firefighter mums, the ones who finish a shift and start another one at home.

Thanks for everything you do.

Clear the calendar, cancel the brunch, tell the in-laws you're busy.

Open Day is on this Saturday, 10am to 2pm.

Meet your local crew, watch demos, take a look behind the roller door, and ask a firefighter every question your kids have been saving up for the last 12 months.

Not every station is taking part, so check the list before you head out. fire.nsw.gov.au/openday

This might look like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie, but it’s actually a fire on Vulcan Street, Moruya, that firefighters contained this morning. No injuries have been reported and crews stopped the fire from spreading to neighbouring buildings.
