Fire and Rescue NSW Station 426 Perisher Valley

06/09/2026

Perisher Valley woke up to a light dusting of snow and an oil spill. The crew got to work and spread absorbent then NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service used a machine to sweep up the mess. FRNSW works to prevent spills entering waterways all year round. This is especially important in our national parks.

Call Triple Zero (000) if you see an oil or fuel spill.
