This morning, Erina crews paused to reflect on the lives lost in last night’s tragedy, when Marine Rescue volunteers died while on duty protecting their community. They were more than just volunteers, they were dedicated, selfless individuals who gave their time and courage to keep others safe. Rest in peace.

Erina crews have been busy over the past week 👨‍🚒🔥

On Thursday, crews assisted with a hazard reduction burn at Killcare.

Saturday’s planned HR at Kincumber was postponed due to overnight rain, so crews made the most of it washing trucks and cleaning hoses, keeping everything ready for the next job. A big congratulations as well to two of our firefighters Josh and Hudson who obtained their BAO qualifications on Saturday 👏

Then on Wednesday, we had the opportunity to meet with the Minister for Emergency Services, along with local MPs, to recognise and thank the firefighters who assisted during the Koolewong fires in December 2025.

A huge thank you to all brigades NSW RFS, Fire and Rescue NSW, and the many emergency services and community groups who supported the Koolewong response. The list is massive and wouldn’t fit in one post, but your efforts don’t go unnoticed. Your service is always appreciated. 🙏

Residents in these areas may see or smell smoke as a result. Conditions are expected to improve, with smoke gradually clearing through the morning.
