21/05/2026

Hi everyone,

Come down and talk to the team!

Hi all,

Please be aware a HR is on this morning around the Medlyn Ave area. This is being undertaken by National Parks, assisted by the RFS.

Hi all,

HR has successfully been completed, with the designated area cleared and the fuel load significantly reduced.
There will be some smoke in the area for the next couple of days, however there will be regular RFS patrols during this period. Please dont enter the burn zone due to a number of fire related hazards.
While we have a reasonably good local Brigade turnout today, we really need more people in our local community to put their hands up and assist by becoming an RFS volunteer. You van join online by searching "NSW RFS Volunteer ".

Good morning,

There is a Hazard Reduction burn planned for tomorrow (Sunday 26 April). The burn location is to the west of the Sussex Inlet Primary School, bordered by Thomson Street and The Springs Road. Please slow down as there will be a number of RFS appliances and RFS Firefighters in the area.

I'll let you know the exact time as soon as it is known.

Weekly wrap up

It's been a busy week for our volunteer firefighters in Sussex Inlet. Our home fire safety blitz was a busy day, but a huge success. Over 100 homes were inspected in conjunction with numerous Shoalhaven RFS brigades and FRNSW crews from Nowra and Ulladulla.

Incident response has been busy also. Our crews have responded to numerous incidents, both in support of other agencies and as the primary combat agency.

Emergency services often call on each other to provide support and once again our volunteers have answered the call. These responses and proactive community safety initiatives are above and beyond our regular commitment to training and preparedness.

You can join our team! All training is nationally recognised and our experienced firefighters provide mentoring. We'll soon be out in the community for several information sessions, so have a chat to friends and family; consider joining as group and be a part of something special in our community.

The statutory bushfire danger period in the Shoalhaven ends at midnight on March 31.

Landowners in Rural Fire District who undertake vegetation pile burns after this date do not require a fire safety permit - however you still have an obligation to notify the RFS and your neighbours at least 24 hours before you commence burning.

Visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au and click on the NOTIFY portal.

Don’t forget to check the weather forecast; bush and grass fires still occur in Autumn and Winter if conditions are conducive to the ignition and spread of fire.
