NSW RFS - Sandy Point Brigade

Recently one of our very active younger members competed in Gold Coast at the Emergency Services Games. The team was made up of volunteers from around NSW and was victorious over the Queensland team.
The same member also received a citation for a fire response to Nowra for a grain silo fire and worked throughout that night with RFS and Fire & Rescue crews to contain the potentially explosive incident.
Well done Will!

Monday 12 October. Extreme Fire Danger with a Total Fire Ban. Good thing we had Get Ready Weekend to prepare for days like this where bushfires can be very difficult to control. Discuss your plan with family and download Hazards Near Me so you can receive notifications of fire in your Watch Area.

We are all set up for the day Sunday 20th September 1000-1500. Sausage are on and cold drinks available, the jumping castle is inflated! Come down, say “Hi” and have a chat about home and bushfire preparation.

It’s on! Get Ready Weekend starts today. Meet your local RFS brigade at Sandy Point RFS at 10am-3pm to learn how to prepare your property and make your own bush fire survival plan.
We are hosting a BBQ lunch, Jumping Castle for the kids and equipment displays.
We look forward to seeing you all there.

🔥 Did you receive a notification this evening about the bush fire in Hammondville? 🔥

This is a timely reminder that bush fires can happen quickly and affect our local communities. Come down to Sandy Point RFS Station tomorrow (Sunday 20th September) between 10am and 3pm to learn how you can prepare yourself, your family and your property for the coming fire season.

🚒 Come along, ask questions and find out what you can do before the next fire.

Don’t wait until it’s too late — be prepared! 🧯🔥

Plan what you will take in advance and consider keeping a go-bag so you’re ready to move quickly. Remember to bring important documents such as passports and birth certificates and medical prescriptions. Also, ensure you pack changes of clothes, water, non-perishable food, chargers, and any medications you may need. It may be some time before it will be safe for you to return home.

What will be your sign to leave? Is it when conditions are dangerous, such as during catastrophic fire danger days, or when there is smoke in your area? Don’t wait until you can see flames before you make a decision. Stay up to date with the latest bushfire information on the RFS website, RFS social media, and Hazards Near Me.

Get the guidance you need to prepare for the bush & grass fires this season at Get Ready Weekend. Meet your local RFS brigade at Sandy Point on the 20th of September at 10am-3pm to find out how to make your bush fire survival plan and prepare your property.
