NSW RFS - Yerrinbool Brigade

20/06/2026

Over the last two days, Yerrinbool Brigade has responded to two separate incidents.

The first was a machinery fire involving an excavator. Upon arrival, crews found the excavator well alight. Yerrinbool Brigade worked alongside Alpine and Colo Vale Brigades to quickly extinguish the fire.

The second call was to reports of a possible train fire at Yerrinbool Railway Station. Assistance was provided by Alpine and Bargo Brigade. Following a thorough inspection of the train, thankfully, nothing was found.

We thank our neighbouring brigades for their support and our volunteers for their continued commitment to keeping the community safe.

Happy Mothers Day!

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the strength, dedication and compassion of mums everywhere, but especially those in our family.

Across the state, thousands of mothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, stepmothers and aunties give their time to help protect their communities. Whether they're on the frontline or supporting behind the scenes their contributions are extraordinary.

Today, we thank them for all they do, not just as RFS members, but as leaders and role models in our brigades and communities.

Over the weekend, one of our members gave up their time to complete the Breathing Apparatus Operators Course (BAO Course) at the Kerslake Training Facility, alongside others from across the Southern Highlands team.

It’s fantastic to see the commitment our volunteers show in building their skills to help protect our community.

Well done to everyone involved 👏

Over the past 8 days, Yerrinbool RFS volunteers have been making the most of the favourable weather, assisting with several hazard reduction burns across the local area.

Crews have been out both over the weekends and throughout the week, supporting hazard reductions at Lakesland East Stage 2, Nepean West and Yerrinbool South HR.

These hazard reductions are a strategic part of preparing for the upcoming fire season. They help reduce fuel loads and play an important role in protecting homes, property and our local community.

We thank our dedicated volunteers for their continued commitment and hard work.
