Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums within our brigade and throughout our community.

Today we would like to recognise the incredible support that mums provide, not only within our brigade, but also at home while our members are away serving the local community and assisting across the state and country when needed.

Whether they are responding on the fireground, supporting behind the scenes, or holding everything together at home, the contribution and sacrifice made by mums does not go unnoticed.

From everyone at Plumpton Rural Fire Brigade, thank you for everything you do and we hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day.

On Anzac Day, we honour the courage, sacrifice, and mateship of all who have served and continue to serve.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Our members were busy across the weekend, participating in strategic hazard reductions across Greater Sydney.

These planned burns are a critical part of preparing our communities ahead of the fire season, helping to reduce fuel loads and strengthen local resilience.

Thank you to all the volunteers and partner agencies who gave their time and expertise to keep our communities safer.

Daylight Saving Ends – Check Your Smoke Alarms

As daylight saving comes to an end, it’s also the perfect time to check your smoke alarms – a quick test could save your life.
✔️ Test the alarm
✔️ Replace batteries if needed
✔️ Make sure everyone in your home knows your fire escape plan

Working smoke alarms provide early warning in the event of a fire, giving you and your family precious time to get out safely.

Plumpton RFS encourages all residents to take a few minutes this weekend to stay safe.

Yesterday our members were proud to assist the Blacktown Lions Club at their annual Working Bee. It was a great day out giving back to the community and lending a hand where it was needed.

A big thank you to the Blacktown City Lions Club for having us along and for the great teamwork throughout the day. It’s always fantastic to work alongside other community organisations who share the same goal of helping the local community.

Well done to everyone involved.

Last night Plumpton Rural Fire Brigade had a great time attending the Bunnings Blacktown Easter Family Night.

As we head into the cooler months, it’s a good time to start thinking about winter fire safety around the home. Remember to keep combustibles at least one metre away from the heater, and always keep looking when cooking. Never leave cooking unattended.

A huge thank you to Bunnings Blacktown for having us at the event and for their very generous donation to the brigade. We really appreciate your ongoing support.

On Wednesday evening at training, we took a step back to the fundamentals.

With several new members preparing to undertake their FF1 and FF2 assessments, our senior members broke everything down to the core skills we perform regularly.

Thank you to our senior firefighters for your coaching, guidance, and diligence in teaching our new members. Your experience and leadership make a real difference.

While these tasks may look simple from the outside, it’s essential that we master the basics and ensure they’re done correctly first.

Today we pause with heavy hearts to remember the crew of Bomber 134.
Six years ago today, we lost three incredible souls who gave everything in service to others.
Not a year, not a season, not a moment passes without their memory touching us.

Forever in our thoughts. Forever part of our story. Never forgotten. 🛩️

🔥 HEAT WARNING | FIRE CONDITIONS INCREASING 🔥

It wouldn’t be an Australian summer without the heat — and over the coming days, hotter conditions will move in from the west. Some areas of NSW are expected to experience extreme temperatures, with the heat pushing towards Sydney.

With these conditions, Fire Danger Ratings are expected to range from HIGH to EXTREME in parts of the state which could increase at at any time.

🔥 Important reminder: embers can travel kilometres ahead of a fire. Even if you’re in a metro or built-up area, you may still be at risk and should not assume you’re safe.

With the Australia Day long weekend approaching, please take extra care: If you’re heading away or camping, know your escape route, have a plan, and monitor conditions closely.
🚗 Be ready to leave early if conditions change
👀 Stay alert to warnings and local advice

As temperatures rise, so does the bush fire risk. Now is the time to prepare:

✅ Avoid activities that could start a fire
✅ Never leave fires unattended — including BBQs and burn-offs
✅ Have a Bush Fire Survival Plan in place
✅ Keep grass and vegetation trimmed around your home
✅ Clear gutters and remove flammable items from around your home
✅ Stay informed via the NSW RFS website, Hazards Near Me app, and local warnings as updates occur regularly.

🚫 Report unattended or suspicious fires immediately by calling 000.

Please look after yourselves, your families, and your neighbours — especially the elderly, children, and pets — and check in on those who may need assistance during extreme heat.

Stay alert. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

🔥 Supporting Our Own 🔥

One of our own has barely had time to unpack after returning home on Sunday from assisting with bushfires along the southern border - and has now been deployed back into Victoria.

Sam is part of an arduous firefighter strike team, operating deep in remote and challenging terrain where our larger appliances simply can’t reach. These crews work in tough conditions, relying on teamwork, resilience, and each other every step of the way.

We wish Sam and the entire team a safe deployment. Look after one another, stay safe, and we look forward to welcoming you home.
