Just a reminder with the cooler weather on the way to check and clean your Chimneys and flues before lighting up to avoid any unforeseen disasters.

Photo for attention.

Last night Group 3 Brigade members, family & special guests came together to Celebrate the 30 Years Darryl Jordan has served as Group 3 Deputy Captain in the Lower Hunter.
An enjoyable night was had by all in attendance in recognition of this amazing achievement by Darryl. 🏆
Darryl enjoyed the night catching up with mates & past & present members.
In 1994 Darryl Jordan attended a fire at Raglan. Ted Murrell was the Fire Control Officer at the time and he made Darryl along with Peter Williams, Fire Bosses.
Alan Delany was the Group Capain at the time. By the end of 1994 FCO Murrell said he would make both the men Deputy Group Captains. On the 17th February 1995 these positions became official. Darryl became Deputy Group West. Back then you could take the role of Captain and Group Captain, and Darryl held both positions for a short time.
Darryl has been & remains in this volunteer role as Deputy Group Officer now for 30 years.

🌟 Congratulations Darryl & thanks again for your commitment, time & dedication in this role.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

In collaboration with the RFS, Transport for NSW is undertaking a second trial of private vehicles used for firefighting purposes. Under the trial, Farm Fire Fighting Vehicles (FFFVs) can be driven unregistered if certain conditions are met.

FFFVs play a critical role in protecting farms and nearby properties, particularly before emergency services arrive. This trial will build on the success of an initial trial undertaken between December 2023 and March this year, gathering additional information as Transport NSW explores options for a permanent scheme.

To participate, vehicles must meet specific criteria, including being equipped with permanent firefighting equipment, operating within a 100km radius of their storage location, and being maintained in safe working condition.

The trial begins tomorrow, December 13, and runs until March 31, 2025.

For more information or to submit a Farm Fire Fighting Vehicle nomination form, visit the Transport for NSW website: www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/vehicle-registration/unregistered-vehicles/when-you-can-drive-an-unregistered-vehicle -farm-fire-fighting-vehicle-trial

Here’s something to look forward too.

Yes, we know it's summer. Yes, we know summer is hot... But the Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a heatwave for the majority of the state over the weekend – with some areas expected to reach into the mid-40s°C.

Heatwaves can bring an elevated fire risk, as well as an increased health risk to the elderly, young children and those with medical conditions. It's important you stay safe, stay cool and stay alert!

For more information on beating the heat and staying safe during hot weather, visit the NSW Health website: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/beattheheat/Pages/default.aspx
