began with Firies climbing the Sydney Tower to raise awareness and funds for MND. This year, she is taking up the challenge of the Furber Stairs in the Blue Mountains to continue this legacy, and support the incredible work done at the MND Research Centre at Macquarie University.

Every donation is a step towards a world without MND.

Tonight, crews from FRNSW Bombala 230 responded to reports of an “unknown fire” with concerns that structures may have been involved.

Thankfully, on arrival, crews located a pile burn outside of the declared fire district, with no structures impacted. The incident was then handed over to the RFS.

While this incident turned out to be non-threatening, we’d like to remind the community of the importance of working smoke alarms in every home.

FRNSW offers free home fire safety visits, including smoke alarm checks and home fire safety advice, free of charge.

If you would like to book a visit, simply send us a message through our page.

Today, crews from FRNSW Bombala 230 responded to an unauthorised pile burn within the declared fire district.

On arrival, residents were advised the fire needed to be extinguished, and they promptly complied and put the burn out.

Crews then ensured the area was safe and checked for any remaining hotspots.

This is a timely reminder to the community that permits are required for all burning activities year-round within the FRNSW fire district.

Everyone must have a valid permit before lighting any fire. If you are planning to burn, please contact your local Fire and Rescue NSW station to obtain the correct permit and advice.

These requirements are in place to help protect lives, property, and the environment, and to ensure emergency services are aware of planned burns should conditions change.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out before burning if you’re unsure.

🚒🔥 What a day at FRNSW Bombala 230 Open Day! 🔥🚒

Today we opened our doors to the community and showed just a small glimpse into the world of firefighting.

From filling the station with smoke for our TIC (Thermal Imaging Camera) demonstrations, to getting hands-on with fire hose demonstrations and hydraulic rescue gear, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

One of the highlights was showing just how precise our rescue equipment can be — even carrying an egg with the super spreader!
🥚🚒

We fired up the BBQ, met so many amazing locals, and even had entertainment from our very own in-house DJ Acting Deputy Captain Derek Metuangaro 🎶🔥 “DJ Drekz” 🔥🎶

A massive thank you to everyone who came down, supported the station, asked questions, and spent the day with us. Community days like this remind us why we love serving Bombala and surrounding areas.

We hope everyone had as much fun as we did — see you again next year! 👨‍🚒
