Important message from NSW RFS - Shoalhaven

FIRE PERMITS SUSPENDED โ€“ Saturday 5th September 2026

The Shoalhaven is forecast to experience HIGH fire danger conditions on Saturday 5th September 2026. As a result of the forecast all fire permits issued by the RFS have been suspended in the Shoalhaven for this time.

Windy and dry conditions will create a real fire risk across our landscape. It's incumbent upon all of us to be cautious with the use of fire.

ONE EMBER CAN END IT - Embers from a fire can spread quickly and quite a distance, putting communities well away from the main fire at risk.

Bush Fire Danger Period commencing 1 September. ๐Ÿ“…

The Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) will commence in the Shoalhaven on Tuesday 1 September. From this date, anyone planning to conduct a pile burn or other permitted burn will need to ensure they have the appropriate Fire Permit before lighting.

A permit is only one part of the process. If you're planning a burn, remember:

โœ… CHECK - Make sure your proposed burn meets the requirements for a safe and lawful burn. Check your pile, surrounding vegetation, available equipment, and other requirements before applying.

๐Ÿ“ PERMIT - During the Bush Fire Danger Period, obtain the required Fire Permit online here https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp before lighting your burn

๐Ÿ“ข NOTIFY - Once you've identified suitable conditions and intend to proceed, you must provide at least 24 hours' notice before lighting:

Notify the NSW RFS online at https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp
Notify all adjoining neighbours of your intention to burn.

๐Ÿ”ฅ BURN SAFELY - Continue to monitor weather and fire conditions right up until you light.

Having a permit does not mean you should proceed if conditions are no longer suitable. These requirements help ensure proposed burns can be appropriately assessed, planned burns are recorded before ignition, neighbours know that smoke or fire may be visible.

There is plenty of information available on the NSW RFS website about Fire Permits, notification requirements, pile burn standards and preparing for a safe burn. Visit rfs.nsw.gov.au for more information.

A little planning before you light goes a long way towards keeping our Shoalhaven communities safe.

Milton Rural Fire Brigade is proud to once again be part of the Ngulla NAIDOC Festival this Friday 10 July at the Ulladulla Civic Centre.

NAIDOC Week is an important opportunity to come together as a community, celebrate culture, and strengthen the connections that make our community so special. We value being part of this event each year and look forward to catching up with familiar faces while meeting new ones.

We'll have one of our fire trucks on display for the kids (and the young at heart!) to explore, a few goodies to hand out, and our volunteers will be available to chat about bushfire preparedness ahead of the upcoming fire season.

Whether you'd like to climb aboard the truck, ask questions about bushfire safety, or simply stop by for a chat, we'd love to see you.

We look forward to sharing this wonderful community event with you.

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Milton Rural Fire Brigade Life Member, Robert Milojevic (Bob Milo).

Bob dedicated more than a decade of service to the NSW Rural Fire Service, joining Milton Brigade in March 2010. Throughout his time with the brigade, he held numerous leadership and support roles, including Secretary, Treasurer, Permit Officer, Deputy Captain, Senior Deputy Captain and Captain. In recognition of his outstanding commitment and contribution to the brigade, Bob was awarded Life Membership in 2020.

Beyond his local brigade, Bob was also an active member of the Shoalhaven Community Engagement Team, helping to educate and support our community. He was passionate about developing his skills, completing many qualifications throughout his service, and was always willing to step forward wherever he was needed.

Those who served alongside Bob remember him as a welcoming leader with a great sense of humour, someone who made new members feel at home and who built strong friendships through training, local incidents and deployments further afield. His dedication to the brigade and the wider Rural Fire Service was evident in everything he did.

Bob's legacy will continue through the people he mentored, the brigade he helped shape and the community he served with pride.

On behalf of everyone at Milton Rural Fire Brigade, we extend our sincere condolences to Bob's family, friends and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Thank you for your service. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ฅSunday Training at Milton Brigade๐Ÿ”ฅ

Todayโ€™s weekly training at Milton Brigade was a little bit special, with members taking part in practical live fire training, thanks to the support of our Fire Control Centre, who supplied the extinguishers used during the session.

We were pleased to extend the invitation to our neighbouring brigades and would like to sincerely thank the members from NSW RFS - Depot Beach Brigade, Kioloa Rural Fire Brigade, Lake Tabourie RFS and NSW RFS - Conjola Brigade Brigades who joined us this morning. We hope you enjoyed the session as much as we did, and we look forward to more opportunities to train together in the future. Training alongside neighbouring brigades provides valuable opportunities to strengthen the relationships and teamwork that are so important during emergency incidents. Practical sessions involving live fire also allow members to gain firsthand experience observing fire behaviour and applying firefighting skills in a controlled environment.

As we move through the cooler months, our focus remains on building capability, maintaining skills and creating learning opportunities for our members. Winter is the perfect time to invest in training that helps ensure we are ready when our communities need us. Our focus on building capability extends beyond brigade training nights. This weekend, two Milton Brigade firefighters are attending the Hydraulics Module of the NSW RFS Advanced Firefighter Course in Nowra. Ongoing training and development opportunities such as these help our members build their knowledge, skills and operational experience, ensuring we continue to strengthen the capability of our brigade and provide the best possible service to our community.

๐Ÿ‘ Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a great morning of learning, teamwork and brigade collaboration.
