The Spring Bushfire Fire outlook is here….Be alert, not alarmed!

AFAC CEO Rob Webb stated: “This outlook highlights a heightened risk of fire across several parts of the country, driven by a combination of dry conditions in the east and increased fuel loads through parts of central and northern Australia. The variety of risk factors across different regions reinforces the need for communities to understand their local conditions and prepare early."

"While some areas are facing an elevated risk of fire this spring, bushfires can still occur in regions with a normal seasonal outlook. Communities are encouraged to stay informed, monitor local conditions and follow advice from their fire and emergency services as the season unfolds."

The areas marked in red on the map represent an increased risk of fire, largely driven by below average rainfall and dry conditions.

The Seasonal Outlook is the culmination of a complex analysis by expert fire specialists across Australia, and climate prediction and fire weather experts from the Bureau of Meteorology.

Today, Monday 27 July 2026, the AusAlert system will be tested across Australia, with an alert being sent to all compatible mobile devices within NSW at 2pm.

If your device receives the AusAlert national test, it will vibrate and make a loud siren-like sound for about 10 seconds before stopping, even if your device is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.

Monthly Member Spotlight!👩🏼‍🚒🚒

First up we have a man who needs no introduction, our fearless leader James Cheetham! You all would’ve met our Captain before, either on the fire ground or at a community event. Being a captain of a volunteer brigade means dedicating a lot of time to call outs, organising logistics and ensuring preparedness. Let’s give a big community thank you to James!👏🏼

Looking for something to do this weekend? Check your smoke alarms!

The simplest and most essential check is to press and hold the test button on your smoke alarm until you hear a loud, ear-piercing alarm. This confirms that both the battery and the internal circuitry are functioning correctly. If the sound is faint or intermittent, it may indicate dying batteries or a failing unit, even if it hasn’t started chirping yet.

ONLY WORKING SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES✅

We have well and truly reached heater weather!! Do you know how close your heater is to other items in your house? Any household items closer than 1m to a heater can increase the risk of flammability!

Stay alert this winter and keep your household safe!🔥

This week is National Road Safety Week — a time to reflect on the lives lost and seriously injured on our roads, and the role each of us plays in keeping our community safe.

Since the start of 2026, Gundary brigade has responded to 7 motor vehicle accidents. This is a number that we would much rather see as 0.

Every road user matters. Whether you’re driving, riding, walking or cycling, a moment of patience and attention can save a life. Please slow down, avoid distractions, never drive impaired, and look out for one another on our roads.

As a community, we have lost too many loved ones far too soon. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility, and together we can help make our roads safer for all.

This week is National Volunteer Week, an opportunity to celebrate and express heartfelt gratitude to the nearly 70,000 volunteer members of the RFS. Whether you’re on the frontline, working tirelessly behind the scenes or supporting in another way, your selfless contributions are the backbone of protecting communities across NSW and Australia.

The 2026 theme, ‘Your Year To Volunteer’, is a tribute to the remarkable contributions of volunteers while inspiring people across Australia to embark on a journey of giving in a way that resonates with them. We extend our deepest gratitude to all of the members who make up the Gundary Brigade. We are forever indebted to your unwavering service to our community. Whether you're bravely fighting fires on the frontline, protecting lives and property, or diligently working behind the scenes, your tireless efforts never go unnoticed.

We also want to acknowledge and thank the families and partners who stand beside you. Your unwavering support, patience, and understanding are the foundation that enables our volunteers to answer the call at any time, day or night. You are the unsung heroes of the Brigade.

A man deserving of a spotlight post!

Yesterday, at the Southern Tablelands Long Service Medal Presentation, our very own James Turner was recognised for an extraordinary 60 years of volunteer service.

James began his volunteer journey in 1965 with the Mount Horeb RFS, where he served in multiple leadership roles, including an impressive 14 years as Captain. In 2018, he transferred to Gundary Brigade where he continues to stand as one of our Deputy Captains.

Across six decades, James has contributed tirelessly to both frontline operations and brigade leadership. He has maintained an extensive suite of firefighting qualifications - from Bush Firefighter and Advanced Firefighter through to Crew Leader and Control of a Level 1 incident - demonstrating a lifelong commitment to learning, safety and operational excellence.

James is known for his reliability, calm leadership and unwavering dedication to his community. His service record is exemplary and reflects the very best of the NSW Rural Fire Service.

James was presented his Long Service Medal with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Clasps, recognising his extraordinary 6 decades of service. What an incredible achievement, well done James!👏🏼👏🏼
