Fire and Rescue NSW Station 263 Cooma

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices. It will be ready to use in October 2026, but before it launches, we need to test the system across Australia.

On Monday 27 July, your mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.
The test times across NSW are.
2:00 pm AEST
1:30 pm ACST (Broken Hill NSW)

The message will vibrate and include a loud, siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds. If this could disrupt you or cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in your location, and leave them off for at least one hour.
As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything, but in an actual disaster you should follow the alert instructions to keep yourself and others safe.

Brace yourselves...Winter's coming ❄️❄️❄️
🚨Check those smoke alarms today! 🚨

On this day 20 years ago, NSW made smoke alarms mandatory in every home.

Two decades on, the law still stands. Working smoke alarms on every level of your home. Test them monthly and replace them every 10 years.

At yesterday's ANZAC day ceremony, 263 marched under the leadership of new Captain, Nick Moon. This year marked a slight changing of the guard, as our former Captain embarkes on a new journey.
It is an honor to be part of the ANZAC day march with current and former fighters, along side other emergency services.
