🚒 Fire Rescue Moama recently attended a rubbish fire after a rubbish truck was forced to dump its load due to a fire inside the truck.
This is a timely reminder for everyone to take extra care with what goes into household bins. Items such as batteries, hot ashes, chemicals, and other hazardous materials can easily ignite and cause serious fires, putting waste workers, emergency services, and the community at risk.
Please ensure hazardous items are disposed of correctly and never placed in your household rubbish bin. A little extra care at home can help prevent dangerous incidents like this.

Tonight our crew is undertaking a low-visibility search and rescue training exercise.

Working in dark, smoke-filled conditions is physically and mentally demanding, but it’s essential preparation for real emergencies. Drills like this ensure we’re ready to respond safely, effectively, and as a team when it matters most.

We train for every scenario so we can be there for our community when needed. 🚒

Lest We Forget.
Today, on ANZAC Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and mateship of all those who served and gave their lives for our country.
Their legacy lives on in the freedoms we enjoy and the values we carry forward each day.
We remember their bravery.
We remember their sacrifice.
We remember them.
Lest We Forget.
