🚨INCIDENTS - WEDNESDAY 1ST APRIL🚨

This afternoon, Shoalhaven Heads Brigade attended two separate incidents.

1. Pile Burn – Berry
Our first call was to a reported smoke sighting on Berry Mountain, which was confirmed to be a private pile burn. A reminder that, as we are currently outside the Bush Fire Danger Period, permits are not required. However, you are still required to notify your local Fire Control Centre and your neighbours before lighting a burn.
Please note: residents within Fire & Rescue NSW areas must continue to obtain permits year-round.

2. Scrub Fire – Beecroft Peninsula
From this incident, our crew was redirected to a scrub fire at Beecroft Peninsula. Shoalhaven Heads firefighters worked alongside several other NSW RFS - Shoalhaven brigades to contain the fire using a variety of suppression methods.

TRUCK FIRE - PRINCES HIGHWAY

This morning, Shoalhaven Heads Brigade was called to reports of a truck fire involving a load of recycling materials on the Princes Highway.

Firefighters from multiple brigades worked together to control the fire, operating in breathing apparatus due to the nature of the materials involved. The truck was required to be emptied so crews could properly extinguish the smouldering recycling before it was later reloaded into another truck.

More than 60,000 litres of water were used to fully extinguish the fire and ensure the scene was made safe.

This incident is a timely reminder to please be cautious about what you place in your rubbish and recycling bins. Incorrectly disposed items, including batteries and other hazardous materials, can pose a serious fire risk during collection and transport.
