another day on the fireground, back at the beni one and running the show

lots of massive big trees down on the talbragar river that had to be knocked down. absolute units. it was sad to see. there is a sydney strike team visiting and they put in a huge effort with the local teams. looks like that's now at patrol which is amazing!

when we were leaving the shed this morning we did see a little juvenile kookaburra that may have been blown out of its nest. it could fly, just not really well. it was gone when we got back so hopefully it got home

another busy arvo, massive grass fire on the golden highway just out of town. trucks from everywhere, choppers, planes, heavy plant, water tankers. massive effort by all

nearly 200 ha all up with multiple homes threatened but saved. there were some sheep that weren't as lucky unfortunately, might seem minor but is a heartbreaking thing to see. we came under threat ourselves on the truck multiple times due to wind changes. no one was injured thankfully

crews still out there, it'll be a 3-4 day job. tomorrow is an extreme fdr day here as well, and the other fire at goonoo is still not finished

got a local job today. a transformer on a pole that runs pivot irrigation had an issue and started a grass fire

pole was alight, paddocks were alight when we got there. there was a firebird (small bomber) at the airport that was already overhead when we got there that dropped it's water on the head and pulled it up

then a chopper with a bucket showed up and dropped that on the pole. the farmer was running around it with a tractor and plough, then we ended up with 6 appliances on scene knocking the rest down

all in all it was a great response. being close to town and having aircraft available (which imo was just lucky timing) really helped up. as did our awesome brigades!

#fireseason2025 #nswrfs

this fire is finally under control! it's been a long week since it started, with crews coming from greater sydney and all around to help fight it

massive effort by all. if you know a firey, make sure you thank em!

#fireseason2025 #nswrfs

we got out of today pretty well. a few calls, lots of trees down, an afa

we saw 37c with super high winds, multiple storm fronts, rain, hail. nothing major in the area that wasn't caught with quick and heavy response. unreal job by all!
