Need we say anymore????

As we move into the cooler months of the year, we often see an increase in residential structure fires due to the use of heaters, fireplaces and heated blankets.

A smoke alarm that doesn't work is just a plastic disc on the
ceiling.
Test yours every month. If it doesn't beep, replace the battery.
If it's older than 10 years, replace the alarm.
Be fire safe this winter. fire.nsw.gov.au/befiresafe

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Steve Farrell this week after his long illness.

He was surrounded by loving family and friends to the end.

Steve, a life member and former Brigade Captain, joined the Brigade in 1999. Our members have very fond memories of Steve and his family. He was a mentor to so many of our members and the Brigade would not be what it is today without him being in it.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

As daylight saving ends and we gain an extra hour, it’s a great opportunity to take a moment for home fire safety. It is important to check your smoke alarms to ensure they’re working properly.

It’s crucial your home has working smoke alarms, as they provide an early warning and give you and your family valuable time to escape during a house fire.

With the cooler months approaching, please stay safe this winter. There are several simple steps you can take, such as creating a home escape plan, ensuring your smoke alarm is working and keeping all items at least a meter from the heater.
