🔥 COMMUNITY FIRE UNIT TRAINING | WINDSOR DOWNS 🚒

Today, firefighters from Windsor Fire Station joined members of the local Community Fire Unit (CFU) at Windsor Downs for some hands-on bushfire training.

Community Fire Units are made up of local residents who volunteer their time to help prepare and protect their neighbourhoods from bushfire. CFU members are trained and equipped by Fire and Rescue NSW to undertake important preparation and property protection activities before and during bushfires.

Today’s training provided an opportunity for our crews and CFU members to work together, covering the use of firefighting equipment, hose handling, water supplies and preparing properties for the threat of bushfire.

CFUs play an important role in building more resilient communities, particularly in areas where homes meet the bush. Importantly, CFU members do not replace firefighters and are not trained to actively fight bushfires — their focus is on preparation, prevention and protecting properties when it is safe to do so.

A big thank you to the Windsor Downs CFU members for giving up their Saturday afternoon to train with us! 👏🚒

🚨 MVA | SOUTH WINDSOR 🚒

At 8:19am this morning, firefighters from Station 081 Windsor were responded to reports of a motor vehicle accident in South Windsor.

On arrival, crews found a two-vehicle collision.

Firefighters worked to render the scene safe and assist with access for vehicle recovery. Due to the position of one of the vehicles, crews used equipment to cut and remove a section of fencing, allowing the vehicle to be safely recovered by the attending tow truck.

Please take care on our roads and always drive to the conditions.

📞 In an emergency, always call Triple Zero (000).

🚒 Today, 081 Crew was out in McGraths Hill carrying out routine hydrant inspections. 💧
👏 A big thank you to all of our Hydrant Heroes who keep their hydrants clear and accessible. These hydrants are a critical source of water, allowing us to quickly supply our fire trucks during an emergency. 🚒💦
⚠️ During today’s inspections, we also found several hydrants that had become buried under lawns. These have now been uncovered and are once again accessible if they’re ever needed.
✅ Keeping hydrants visible and unobstructed helps us respond faster when every second counts. Thank you to everyone who does their part to help keep our community safe! ❤️👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

It's National NAIDOC Week, and this year's theme is 50 Years of Deadly, celebrating fifty years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, strength and achievement.

That strength belongs to the people who've carried it this far, and we're proud to have some of them in our ranks. Through the Ifares - Indigenous Fire and Rescue Employment Strategy, we're supporting more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people into careers with FRNSW, helping build a workforce that reflects and strengthens the communities we serve.

It shows up on our trucks too. Many of our appliances carry the name of the Aboriginal nation whose Country it serves, all year round, not just this week.

To the Traditional Custodians of these lands, and to Elders past and present, we pay our respects

Phones, laptops, e-bike batteries. They all generate heat while charging.

Charging on a bed, doona or pillow traps that heat against fabric. Lithium-ion fires can start fast.

Charge on a hard, flat surface. Keep batteries off bedding.

Be fire safe this winter. fire.nsw.gov.au/befiresafe

On Wednesday 6 May at 13:48 - FRNSW 081 Windsor were responded to an MVA incident, which involved an LPG gas tanker, that had ignited, and had also spread to a nearby grassland area.

With 081 Windsor being the first arriving appliance, it was quickly established that this was an extremely complex and high-risk incident. Upon arrival, 081 Windsor immediately applied water onto the gas tanker appliance, to help cool it as quickly as possible.

During the cooling process, a loud hissing sound could be heard as the heat inside the tanker caused the gas vapours to expand, activating the tanker’s pressure relief valve.

This was a critical moment.

Had the tanker not been cooled as rapidly as it was, a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) could have almost certainly occurred. A BLEVE happens when a pressurised liquid inside a vessel is heated beyond its boiling point, causing a rapid pressure release and potentially catastrophic explosion.

As additional appliances arrived, all crews worked together to extinguish both the tanker fire and the surrounding grass fire, whilst rescue operations were carried out to free the patients trapped inside the vehicle.

081 Windsor would like to thank all assisting Fire + Rescue NSW crews, RFS, NSW Police, and NSW Ambulance personnel for their professionalism, support, and teamwork during this challenging incident.
