Things like this cannot be understood

With the fires right now, with the loss of homes and life, with how thinly stretched all agencies are, we cannot fathom how anyone would think to do this

The risks associated are huge at the best of times

Please, think before you act

Natural Disaster has been declared, if you need assistance, there is help available

As I am sure you are all aware, NSW RFS is currently working with NSWFR and NPWS to control several fires in the region

****Due to the sensitive nature of the fires, we have not included on scene photos out of respect for people who have suffered losses as well as privacy concerns****

We currently have a crew at the Koolewong Fire where there has been devestating loss of homes. This fire moved very fast and despite RFS crews and aerial support being on site quickly, the rate of spread in the conditions proved to be extremely difficult to overcome. Despite what Emergency Services threw at the fire, it continued to spread and spotted across Woy Woy Bay, splitting resources in order to work on containing both fires.

The storm that came through last night, as predicted, caused several new fires due to lightning strikes. One in particular has caused a significant fire at Redhead. This fire is still at Watch and Act level with crews working through the night, it is expected this fire will continue for some time.

Between these 2 fires alone, we have seen RFS crews from as far south as Sydney and up to the Hunter stand up and assist with the massive undertaking with these fires.

In addition to these fires, we cannot forget that Bulahdelah is still active and there has also been smaller fires ignite which have required resource allocation to get on top of them before they grow.

Resources are spead thin, crews are tired but they have not and will not complain or stop. When we see what can happen despite the resources we throw at the fires, it emphsises the need for communities to be aware and ready.

We would like to extend our appreciation to all RFS, NSWFR, NPWS crews as well as Police, Ambulance and the incredible Air Crews who have contributed to the fire fighting efforts.

Stay safe, stay informed, stay ready.

It is with deep sorrow that we notify of the passing of John Goggin.

John was a founding member of Wyee Point RFS Brigade and a true gentleman.

He held positions of Deputy Group Captain, Captain, Senior Deputy Captain, Deputy Captain and Treasurer.

John has given so much to the brigade and community over the years, Wyee Point Brigade would not be what it is today without John’s enormous contribution. His dedication, leadership and unwavering friendship over the years will be greatly missed and always remembered.

We would like to extend his lovely wife Rosie, his family and friends our deepest condolences at this terribly difficult time.
