🚗 What roads would you use to leave?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who in your household might need extra help?
🐕 What will you do with pets or livestock?

A bank that looks after their locals!!!

On behalf of all the members at Mangoola Rural Fire Brigade we would like to say a big Thankyou to Denman's Regional Australia Bank for their donation to our Brigade.

Our Brigade has been apart of their community partnership programme for a number of years now, their donations assist the brigade in purchasing items the brigade requires, it can be simple things like welfare items to replenish food and drinks on the Fire Trucks, or stationary and office equipment for training materials at the station.

If you are wondering how you can contribute to this fabulous programme simply by opening an account with them, drop in and see Kim or Kim at the Denman branch for information.

Thanks again guys, it's very much appreciated .

Today, 31 March, marks the end of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) for the majority of NSW. However, due to the ongoing fire risk, the BFDP will be extended in four Local Government Areas, including Gwydir, Mid-Western, Moree Plains and Narrabri.

While many landholders may no longer require a fire permit, you are still required to notify the RFS and your neighbours of your intention to burn at least 24 hours before lighting the fire.

Fire activity is increasing at the Wybong Road Bushfire.

The fire is moving in a Westerly direction towards Sandy Hollow, resulting in an increase of significant smoke being blown towards the township.

Residents of Sandy Hollow and surrounds should continue to monitor conditions and review their bushfire survival plans.

Firefighters along with aircraft are continuing to work very hard to contain this fire and minimise any further spread.

Firefighters, assisted by aircraft and heavy plant are continuing to work to control a bushfire burning on Wybong Rd, Hollydeen.

Backburning operations have been occurring this afternoon and likely to continue into the night to limit the fire spread into inaccessible terrain. This will cause an increase in smoke being produced but there is no need for alarm.

Residents are urged to monitor the situation and remained informed. Now is a better time than ever to review your Bush Fire Survival Plan.

Please avoid the area to allow firefighters to safely operate to control this fire. Wybong Road may be closed for the safety of road users and firefighters.
