Winmalee recently joined other brigades in the Blue Mtns to host a Community Engagement EXPO at Faulconbridge Rural Fire Brigade Station. Over 40 members attended from brigades across the district including Mt Wilson & Mt Tomah to gather in small groups and discuss community engagement techniques that might be applied back in their home village. Facilitated by the District Community Engagement Group the evening was a great success and members went away with new tools and ideas to help residents become more resilient during major emergencies. A second EXPO is planned for later in 2015

FYI ONLY – The smoke haze around and the Mountains today is from a Hazard Reduction being undertaken by the NPWS 2km West of Silverdale.

Firefighting has many hazards. Here is one of the deadliest, thankfully the crew from Western Australia all walked away from this unhurt. This also highlights why we close walking trails and fire trails during fires and hazard reductions.

Well the SWS inspections have been hugely popular, and now this Saturday is full. But we are organising more dates in the next weeks or so to get out and do more SWS inspections. So if you would like to join the SWS program please private message us your name, address and contact number and we will get in touch with you.
