On Monday 27 July 2026, an AusAlert test message will be sent to all compatible mobile devices in Australia. You may receive a test alert on your mobile phone, tablet or smart watch.

The AusAlert test message is a Critical Alert. It will cause your mobile device to vibrate and will be delivered with a loud siren-like warning sound that lasts about 10 seconds. It will make this noise even if you’ve set your device to ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’ mode.

The AusAlert national test will be sent at 2pm AEST in Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania

For anyone in the Northern Territory, South Australia or Broken Hill (NSW), the alert will be sent at 1:30 pm ACST and for anyone in Western Australia, the alert will be sent at 12:00 pm AWST.

At 1450hrs this afternoon, Pump 312, Rehab 312, Pump 387 Mudgee and Hazmat Tanker 387 Mudgee were responded along with the NSW Rural Fire Service to a shed fire on Barneys Reef Road, just north of Gulgong.

Upon arrival, just eight minutes after the Triple-Zero (000) call was received, crews found the eastern side of the shed fully involved in fire, along with an adjoining shipping container. Firefighters in breathing apparatus got to work to rapidly extinguish the blaze, with the fire knocked down and extinguished at around 1505hrs, around 7 minutes after arriving.

One occupant suffered some minor smoke inhalation, but was given the all clear after being checked over by NSW Ambulance paramedics. A timely reminder to always call Triple-Zero (000) in the event of a fire, and to wait for firefighters to arrive. Trying to extinguish a fire yourself can be very dangerous, and in some cases fatal, and a garden hose is no match for the hoses we carry on our trucks.

At 0419hrs this morning, Pump 312 was responded to a hybrid vehicle fire in Belmore Street, Gulgong. This particular vehicle was fitted with a Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) high-voltage battery. Unlike the lithium-ion batteries found in many newer electric vehicles, NiMH batteries are a well-established technology that is generally more resistant to thermal runaway (an uncontrolled chain reaction that can cause a battery fire to intensify or reignite).

While this type of vehicle still requires specialist firefighting techniques due to the high-voltage electrical system, they are considered a stable and reliable battery technology. As with any vehicle fire, our crews follow established procedures to safely isolate hazards, extinguish the fire, and ensure the scene is safe before we head home… in this case, for bacon and egg rolls. Don’t judge us. It was early!

Tonight, firefighters from 312 Gulgong underwent annual proficiency training on our Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), and took receipt of a new Matrice 4TD. The new platform features a range of new AI features as well as augmented reality, making it easier to locate people, vehicles and moving objects, and to make it easier to navigate in low light operations. Rated to fly in heavy rain and high wind conditions, the platform allows us to put an eye in the sky even in some of the most demanding conditions. A great piece of technology that services not only Gulgong, but many other areas right across our region.

At 1453hrs this afternoon, Pump 312, Rehab 312, Pump 387 and the NSW Rural Fire Service were responded to a fully involved house fire on the Castlereagh Highway west of Gulgong.

Upon arrival, crews got to work, committing two separate firefighting crews to an intense fire on the western side of the house. Together with the assistance of the NSW Rural Fire Service, the fire was brought under control. Unfortunately, and sadly, very little was able to be saved as a result of the fire.

Although investigations are ongoing, it is believed the fire was caused by a lithium ion battery that was on charge inside of the house. A timely reminder to all homeowners to be vigilant when charging batteries, especially inside the home.

At 0016hrs this morning, Pump 312 and Rehab 312 were called to a motor vehicle accident on Guntawang Road, along with NSW Police, NSW Ambulance, NSW Rural Fire Service, and VRA Rescue NSW. Upon arrival, crews found a single utility that was towing a trailer, which had left the roadway and rolled. A total of three patients were involved in the accident, with one male, the driver of the vehicle, being trapped. Fire and Rescue NSW crews worked to cut and free the driver from the vehicle who was then transported to hospital by NSW Ambulance, along with the other two occupants of the vehicle.

The driver of the vehicle had been driving from a location some distance west of Dubbo, and was en route to Sydney. Although the exact cause of the accident wasn’t known, it was believed to be very likely the result of fatigue, which the driver had also suspected. A good, timely reminder to stay safe on the roads, especially in wet weather. You’re better off arriving alive, than not at all.

January was one of the busiest Januarys we’ve ever had. We’re hoping February is a little quieter.

At approximately 2233hrs last night, Pump 312 and Rehab 312 were called to a motor vehicle accident on the corner of Medley and Fitzroy St in Gulgong. Upon arrival crews immediately initiated a rescue to free one male who was severely trapped inside of the vehicle. Crews initially removed the passenger side of the vehicle to provide access for NSW Ambulance paramedics to begin treatment and assessment, which allowed time to carefully remove the driver’s side of the vehicle from around the patient. Together with NSW Ambulance paramedics, the patient was then removed from the vehicle for transport to Billy Dunn Oval for retrieval by Toll Air Ambulance.

Despite severe deformity to the vehicle, and significant damage to the telegraph pole, the male is expected to make a full recovery, having sustained only non-life threatening injuries. A very lucky outcome given the severity of the accident.
