🚨EARLY MORNING VESSEL FIRE
🚨

Yesterday morning at 2:50 am we were paged to a boat fire in Point Claire. Erina crew responded quickly on our fire boat to tackle the active blaze.
Due to the intense smoke, firefighters donned BA to safely approach and extinguish the fire. Fire and rescue was in attendance with hazmat also attending to do a hazmat assesment. A great effort by everyone involved to bring the incident under control in the early hours of the morning.

🚨 FIRE BAN FOR CENTRAL COAST – EXTREME FIRE DANGER TOMORROW 🚨

The NSW Rural Fire Service has declared an EXTREME Fire Danger Rating and a TOTAL FIRE BAN for the Central Coast tomorrow, Monday 12 October 2026.
Hot, dry, and windy conditions mean that if a fire starts, it will spread quickly and be incredibly difficult to control.

Take action now to protect your life and property.

🚒 What you need to do:
• Review your Bush Fire Survival Plan with your household tonight.
• Know your trigger point—know exactly when you will leave and where you will go.
• Download the Hazards Near Me NSW app and set up your watch zone.
• Report any unattended fires immediately to Triple Zero (000).

Stay alert and stay safe, Central Coast!

Erina crew has had a busy weekend!🚒🚨

On Saturday, our members attended the SES Family Day, strengthening relationships with our partner agencies and taking part in live demonstrations, including a simulated vertical rescue.

Later that day, Erina responded to the Bandaroo Road Fire at Calga, joining Strike Team ALPHA to provide property protection alongside helicopter crews and the Sydney Strike Team.

On Sunday, our crew joined NPWS at the Maculata Hazard Reduction, conducting night patrols and supporting a low-intensity burn—providing valuable experience for our newer firefighters.

A huge thank you to the SES, NPWS, Sydney Strike Team and Gosford Catering for a fantastic weekend of teamwork and learning!

And a special shout out to all the fathers who spent part of their Father’s Day weekend away from their families and out protecting our communities.

Last Friday was a busy day for Erina! All three appliances were out, with both trucks at a Hazard Reduction and the boat out for maintenance checks.

The HR at Appletree Road was successful in reducing fuel load and provided valuable learning experience for some of our newest members in preparation for Bush Fire Danger Period.

The boat maintenance run also provided a great opportunity for some training to sharpen our skills 💪🏼🔥

🔥Hazard Reduction - Mt White ALPHA completed🔥
Last Saturday, our RFS crews carried out a successful hazard reduction burn in Mt White as part of our ongoing preparations of a multi stage hazard reduction for the upcoming bush fire period.
By reducing excess fuel load, we've lowered potential fire risk in the area while also giving our firefighters valuable hands-on training.

A big thank you to the Mt White community for your patience and support while the work was underway-together, we're making our region safer and more resilient.

We would also like to thank Trent Curtin for visiting us out on the fire line it was nice to have a chat!
