This evening Mittagong 1 was paged along with local Fire Rescue NSW units to a structure fire in Bowral.

Another eye opening reminder to keep clear and obvious access to the underground hydrants outside your home, or along the street.

This evening Mittagong 1 was paged alongside Berrima and Mandemar brigades to a vehicle fire on a property in High Range.
Thanks to the quick actions of the owner towing the vehicle out of the shed, the damage was limited to only the vehicle.
