International Women's Day we celebrate the incredible women who are part of the Hornsby Ku ring g*i RFS District — volunteers, staff, leaders, mentors, and community champions.

From frontline firefighting to incident management, training, community engagement, and everything in between, the women in our District play an essential role in keeping our community safe. Their dedication, skill, and strength inspire us every day.

To all the women who give their time to serve, support others, and lead with courage thank you. Your commitment makes our District stronger and our communities safer

Our volunteers and district staff have been out in the North Turramurra and Forest Glen areas over the past fortnight week conducting pre–Hazard Reduction street meetings ahead of the upcoming HR burns with our council and agency partners. These meetings give local residents an opportunity to learn more about the planned hazard reductions, ask questions, and understand what to expect on the day of the burn.
Thank you to the community members who took the time to come out and speak with us. Your partnership helps us prepare safely and ensures everyone is informed about how these hazard reductions will support bushfire mitigation in the area.
We’ll continue to keep the community updated as planning progresses.
