Last year we hired a record number of professional firefighters.
This year, we want to built on that even further.

Our permanent and retained firefighters are absolute heroes - but as NSW continues to grow, we need more of them.

So on top of delivering much-needed station and equipment upgrades right across the state, we're embarking on a major recruitment campaign to hire even more firefighters for Fire and Rescue NSW.

The hours might be odd and the work might be incredibly hot (and wet) at times, but you'll be doing an incredible service to your community. And you'll get a cool helmet to boot.

We'd love for you to join the team.

💛 The Golden Highway 💛

Last week we were lucky enough to have a visit from our friends at Fire & Rescue NSW Station 312 Gulgong who ran us through a rehab and RPAS drill.

Our little station here in Merriwa is considered an isolated station so, drills like these are important for our crew as they serve as a great reminder of all the capabilities our agency has available, should we ever need to utilise them.
Plus we also got a wicked view of the gorgeous sunset that was over Merriwa 🌄💛

🔥 Lithium Battery Safety – A Message from Fire & Rescue NSW 🔋

Lithium-ion batteries (like those in e-bikes, e-scooters, phones & power tools) are one of the fastest-growing fire risks in NSW.
Keep yourself and your family safe:
✅ Buy safe – Use batteries & chargers from reputable brands.
⚡ Charge safe – Never charge while you’re asleep or away. Keep batteries on a hard surface, away from beds, couches & exits.
🚫 Don’t ignore damage – If a battery is swollen, hot, leaking or smells strange, stop using it immediately.
♻️ Dispose safe – Never throw batteries in household bins. Recycle them at approved drop-off points.
🚨 If it smokes or catches fire: Get out, close doors, and call 000.

🔥 Every second counts in a fire! 🔥

Having a home escape plan and working smoke alarms can make all the difference. Don’t wait — if there’s a fire, GET OUT, STAY OUT, and call Triple Zero (000). Never go back inside a burning building.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Tips for your family:
✅ Draw your escape plan and discuss it together — download your grid here 👉🏼 https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=883
✅ Know two safe ways out of every room. Make sure windows and doors can be opened quickly.
✅ Practise your escape plan regularly with everyone (including pets!). Your letterbox is a great meeting point.
✅ Close internal doors behind you as you leave to slow the fire’s spread.
✅ Remember to consider children, the elderly, or anyone with special needs when planning.

Be prepared. Be safe. Every second counts. ❤️🚒
