NSW RFS - Marulan Brigade

As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, we want to say thank you to every member of our brigade and the wider community who volunteers their time to help others.

From training nights and call-outs to fundraising, community events, administration, catering and behind-the-scenes support — every role matters and every volunteer makes a difference.

Thank you for everything you do, not just this week, but every day of the year. 🚒🔥

🔥 Burning Off Reminder for Residents & Landowners 🔥

The Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) has now ended, however there are still important legal requirements that must be followed before lighting up.

Before you burn off, you must:

* Notify NSW RFS at least 24 hours prior via the online notification form: https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp?id=guardian_cat_item&sys_id=9e19819bc361f1d04a9cdc31150131ad
* Notify neighbours at least 24 hours before.
* Check the weather forecast and fire danger.
* Use fire safely with clearings all around.
* Monitor the fire in person and see that it is fully extinguished before leaving unattended.

Safe Burning advice can be found via the link below:
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/farm-fire-safety/safeburning

⚠️ Failure to notify both the NSW RFS and adjoining landowners is an offence under the Rural Fires Act 1997.

If you do not comply, you may be subject to fines, legal action, or suppression costs if emergency services are required to respond.

Even outside the Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP), fires can still escape and threaten lives, property and emergency first responders. Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe.

🚒 Appreciation Post 🚒

The Marulan brigade would like to thank Geoff from Gunlake Quarries for providing us with the funds to purchase new Milwaukee Saws for our Heavy Tankers. These saws increase the capacity of our crews especially when gaining access to poorly maintained driveways and at motor vehicle accidents.

Thanks Gunlake Quarries!

Today is International Women’s Day, a day for us to celebrate and acknowledge the incredible women of our brigade.

Their involvement extends beyond the brigade, including participation in the Young Member Leadership College, and the Girls on Fire programme.

🚨🚨We are always looking for more incredible women to join our brigade. For more information head on down to the station, Tuesdays at 7pm.

🟠🟠 TOTAL FIRE BAN TOMORROW (06/02/2026) EXTREME FIRE DANGER RATING 🟠🟠

Tomorrow, a Total Fire Ban has been declared for the Southern Ranges Weather District (Upper Lachlan, Goulburn Mulwaree, Yass Valley, and Queanbeyan-Palerang LGA's)

What does this mean for you?
Extreme Fire Danger days mean conditions will be dangerous, fires will spread quickly and be extremely difficult to control, and lives and homes are at risk.

🚫A Total Fire Ban means no fires are permitted in the open. If you're camping in the area, do not light a campfire.
🚒Report all fires to Triple Zero (000).
📖Check your bushfire plan and ensure that your property is fire-ready tonight, don't leave it till the fire starts.
⚠️If a fire starts, take immediate action. If you and your property are not prepared to the highest level, go to a safer location well before the fire impacts.
🚜Reconsider doing hot works like welding, grinding, or slashing, as one spark is all it takes to start a fire.
🚗Reconsider traveling through bushfire risk areas.
💨Don’t wait to see smoke — leave early if your plan is to go.

Stay informed via the Fires Near Me app or www.rfs.nsw.gov.au
