Talk about smiles, check this lot out. With permission from all the parents we took these snaps on one of the Santa Sleigh Trucks.

Thanks for making OUR day a lot of fun as well. We had a ball and it was a nice diversion from chasing smoking logs all over the countryside. Chasing your smiles was much more fun.

Today Santa Visits Winmalee, Yellow Rock & Hawkesbury Heights. We have all had a rough few months, today we bring a little smile to those little faces.

At 1450hrs today Winmalee RFB was paged to bush alight near Tall Timbers Rd, Winmalee. Crews from Winmalee RFB and FRNSW responded and spend 3 hours containing and blacking out the area of bush alight. All crews have now been stood down.

39.5C in Springwood at 1330hrs today.

Thinking of our fellow firefighters tonight and wishing them all a speedy recovery.

Have you seen an increase in Wildlife around your home? During Saturdays Training we have seen multiple Wallabies, large lizards, possums and during the evening a few Owls.
After recent events, Wildlife will be on the search for food and water. And usually your backyard contains all that. I am no animal expert so if any one has any suggestions to assist this wildlife please feel free to comment. And remember if you do find a injured wild animal please call WIRES on 13000WIRES.
