As firefighters, we’re trained to “risk a little, to save a little. Risk a lot, to save a lot.”

Yesterday, crews in Sydney went above and beyond in an attempt to save multiple lives at a well-developed house fire in Hinchinbrook. Despite best efforts, multiple have died at the scene, whilst some have been transported to hospital.

What makes it even worse is that these deaths may have been prevented if only the property had working smoke alarms.
Our thoughts are with the victims of this tragic incident, including the first responders that gave their most to protect those involved. Especially the 2 firefighters who were injured in their efforts to assist.

We urge you to make sure the people you care about are safe, including your non-English speaking friends, your elderly neighbour or your ‘she’ll be right’ uncle. Ensure yours and their smoke alarms are working, and that your family has a fire escape plan. For more info go to https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/

Be safe, not sorry.
With a 10 per cent increase in the number of house fires during the cooler months, Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is urging communities across NSW to ‘Be safe, not sorry’ this winter by being home fire safe.

“As we shiver through the coldest start to winter in 20 years, many of us are switching on heaters or lighting up fireplaces. And that's sparked a safety warning from firefighters, who are dealing with a busier start to the season. | Nightly at 6pm”

As Duty Commander, I don't get on the tools much anymore. Yesterday was a great opportunity to refresh and work with the firies from Salamander Bay and Lambton. These two Fire Stations have Vertical Rescue responsibility for a large are of coastline from Swansea through to Port Stephens. Span lines are something we don't need to establish very often, but that reinforces the need to run realistic practical drills to stay fresh.
The views weren't too bad either. 😉
