🦆 A little different to our usual call-outs!

Last night around 9pm, crews from 458 Teralba were called to assist other agencies

On arrival, we were informed that a couple of little ducklings had become stuck in a drain.

After ensuring the safety of our crew, firefighters got to work to successfully rescue six little ducklings.

The whereabouts of their mum were unknown at the time, but we’re hoping the little ones will be reunited with her today

Not every rescue involves flames — sometimes it’s just about lending a helping hand

🚒 HYDRANT AWARENESS – EVERY MINUTE COUNTS 💦

One of the biggest challenges firefighters face when attending a house fire is getting enough water.

Our fire appliances carry enough water for the initial fire attack, but we then rely on getting a reliable water supply from hydrants as quickly as possible.

The problem? A lush green lawn, garden, mulch or other landscaping built over or around a hydrant can make it difficult to find and access when we need it most.

⏱️ Every minute counts at a house fire.

That’s where you can help. If you have a fire hydrant on or near your property, please keep it clear, visible and easily accessible.

📸 The photos attached show a hydrant we attended today — before and after it was cleared.

A few minutes of keeping a hydrant accessible could make a real difference when firefighters need it.

🔥 We can all do our bit to help keep our community safe.

🚨Vehicle Fire – George Street, Marmong Point🚨

Just after 6:00 pm tonight, Pump 458 responded to reports of a vehicle fire on George Street, Marmong Point.

Upon arrival, crews found one vehicle well alight. Firefighters quickly deployed hose lines and extinguished the fire, preventing it from spreading to nearby bushland.

The scene was made safe, and no further fire spread occurred.
