🚒🔥 GRASS & BUSH FIRE TRAINING | WINDSOR

Today, firefighters from 081 Windsor Station headed to Macquarie Park, Windsor, with Pump 081 and Light Tanker 081 for a day of grass and bush fire training.

Crews took the opportunity to practise hose handling, firefighting techniques and working together to tackle fires in grassland and bushland environments.

Training is an important part of what we do, allowing crews to develop their skills, maintain operational readiness and familiarise themselves with the equipment carried on our appliances.

🚨 GAS LEAK | BLIGH PARK 💨

Yesterday, firefighters from 081 Windsor Station were conducting routine fire hydrant inspections throughout Bligh Park when they discovered a potential gas leak.

Whilst inspecting a hydrant, crews noticed an unusual gas-like smell and discolouration of the surrounding soil, prompting further investigation.

Using atmospheric monitoring equipment, firefighters detected elevated gas readings coming from within the hydrant pit, causing their gas detector to activate its alarm.

📻 FireCom was notified, an incident was created and the gas authority was requested to attend.

Crews remained on scene, setting up an exclusion zone and continuing to monitor atmospheric conditions while awaiting the gas authority to attend and render the area safe.

If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak:

🚫 Do not smoke, light flames or operate electrical switches or equipment near the suspected leak.

🚶 Move away from the area immediately and keep others clear.

📞 Once you’re a safe distance away, call Triple Zero (000) if there is an immediate danger or emergency.

🔧 Report suspected gas leaks to your gas authority. Never attempt to investigate or repair a suspected gas leak yourself.

🪚 POWER SAW CERTIFICATION | 081 WINDSOR STATION 🚒

Today, firefighters from 081 Windsor Station took part in Power Saw certification training, developing and demonstrating their skills in the safe and effective operation of firefighting power saws.

Throughout the session, crews undertook practical exercises using power saws to cut through metal, focusing on correct operating techniques, equipment handling and safety procedures. 🔥

Power saws are an important part of our firefighting and rescue equipment, allowing crews to cut through various materials, gain access to buildings and remove obstacles during emergency incidents.

Training and certification like this help ensure our firefighters have the skills, confidence and competency to operate specialist equipment safely when it matters most.

Another great day of hands-on training and professional development for our crews! 👨‍🚒💪

🔥 6TH ALARM STRUCTURE FIRE | LAKEMBA 🚒

Today at 4:02pm, Pump 081 from 081 Windsor Station was called to assist at a major 6th Alarm structure fire in Lakemba, more than 50km from Windsor.

The incident began just before 4am this morning, when Fire+Rescue NSW crews responded to a fire in a three-storey, multi-purpose building on Canterbury Road.

As the incident escalated, approximately 100 firefighters and 25 fire trucks were deployed, working throughout the day to contain the deep-seated fire. Dense quantities of furniture and other materials inside the building made access difficult for crews, while heavy smoke continued to affect the surrounding area.

With firefighting operations continuing into the afternoon, Pump 081 was called from Windsor to Lakemba to assist crews already on scene.

Our firefighters joined crews from across Sydney in the ongoing operation, assisting at one of the largest incidents our crew has responded to this year.

A massive effort by everyone involved. 🚒🔥

🔥 PILE BURNS — KNOW THE RULES

Last night, Fire and Rescue NSW Station 081 Windsor responded to reports of an explosion along with Fire and Rescue NSW Station 082 Richmond in Windsor Downs.

On arrival, firefighters found a pile approximately 6m x 6m alight. The burn did not have the required permit, and crews took action to make the area safe.

Pile burning can be a useful way of managing vegetation, but lighting a pile doesn’t simply mean stacking vegetation and setting it alight.

For a pile burn to comply with the applicable requirements, there are several things to consider:

🔥 Size matters — Piles should be no greater than 2m long x 2m wide x 1.5m high.

🌿 Only appropriate dead and dry vegetation from the property should be burnt — not household rubbish, plastics, treated timber, tyres or other waste.

🏠 The pile needs to be safely positioned away from buildings, fences, powerlines and other hazards.

📋 Council approval and/or a Fire Permit may be required, depending on where and when you’re burning. Hawkesbury City Council has its own open-burning approval requirements.

📞 Where notification is required, the relevant authorities and adjoining neighbours must be notified at least 24 hours before lighting the fire.

🚫 If a Total Fire Ban is announced, all permits are cancelled. A permit does not override a Total Fire Ban or No Burn Notice.

Not sure whether your pile is legal? Check before you light.

🚨 WHY DID WE SLOW DOWN?

Ever seen Pump 081 responding under lights and sirens, only for the lights to suddenly go off and the truck turn around?

We’ve most likely received a Code 2. 📻

A Code 2 is transmitted by FireCom, advising firefighters that they are no longer required to respond to the incident.

This can happen for a number of reasons — crews already on scene may have sufficient resources, the incident may have been resolved, or further information may confirm that our attendance is no longer required.

Once a Code 2 is received, Pump 081 stops responding and returns to station or becomes available for another incident. 🚒

So if you see us heading towards an emergency under lights and sirens before suddenly slowing down or turning around, there’s no need for concern — we’ve simply been told we’re no longer required.
