Our beaches are beautiful 🌊

Don’t ruin them with beach fires!

Beach fires in the Shoalhaven are illegal, hot coals under sand can stay hot for hours and possibly days in the right conditions. These hot coals can cause burns and other injuries from contact.

Lighting them near the coastal dunes and bushland can also present a risk of bushfire.

This long weekend, use fire responsibly. If you see any unattended fires, calls Triple-Zero (000).

Kids bored this school holidays?

Get them to clean the fire hydrant in front of your house!

This hydrant was found in the Huskisson area, on a busy street close to houses 😳

It took us 15 minutes to find where this one is - If we are required to use a hydrant in an emergency, every second counts.

If there is an issue with a hydrant you know about, visit 👇

FIRE PERMITS SUSPENDED – Sunday 20th September 2026
The Shoalhaven is forecast to experience HIGH fire danger conditions on Sunday 20th September 2026. As a result, all fire permits issued by the RFS have been suspended in the Shoalhaven for this time.
These conditions can create a real fire risk across our landscape. It's incumbent upon all of us to be cautious with the use of fire.
ONE EMBER CAN END IT - Embers from a fire can spread quickly and quite a distance, putting communities well away from the main fire at risk.

These photos weren’t taken at night…

These photos depict the Currowan and Comberton fires on New Years Eve 2019 at 3pm, taken in Huskisson and Vincentia by a resident.

Three people lost their lives and hundreds of homes were lost on this day of Catastrophic fire weather in the Shoalhaven.

Whilst we not seeing fuel conditions on the ground that replicate the Black Summer fire conditions, the reality is that fires of this magnitude can occur again, so it’s important that we as a community are prepared.

Current conditions are drier than average, with ground moisture much lower than normal. Limited rain is forecast during Spring and the risk of hotter weather is high. Even a few days of hot, dry and windy weather will create potentially dangerous bush fire conditions. Fires may not be as wide spread as during Black Summer, but even a localised event could be devastating.

Get Ready Weekend is a yearly event put on by local NSW Rural Fire Service Brigades, like Huskisson Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade.

Get Ready Weekend is about educating the community on the risk of bushfires and what can be done to mitigate and prevent loss.

Join us at our station, behind the cinema on Owen Street from 10:00 to prepare - with stalls containing information to all residents on a range of topics, such as hazard reduction and bush fire survival planning.

Also starting at 10:30, 11:30 and 1PM, join our team for workshops on the following topics:

➡️ Technology and how it can help you stay informed 📲

➡️ Fire danger ratings and what they mean 🚨

➡️ Static Water Source (SWS) awareness 🌊

➡️ How to prepare your home for Bushfire 🔥

They’ll be a free BBQ on all day - have a snag with a local firefighter about what you can do to plan and be prepared.

Kids won’t miss out either - activities and free gifts will be available with truck tours and a go on the fire hose.

We hope to see all members of the community present - so share this post within your own networks.

⚠️ Images pictured and text below may cause distress to some viewers. ⚠️

Ask anyone that has lived in Husky and the surrounding area for more then 30 years and they will tell you the same horror story.

During winter and spring 2001, low rainfall across NSW combined with a hot, dry December created ideal conditions for bushfires.

The Shoalhaven was hit hard - with the Hylands Fire starting on the 24th of December, 2001 in largely inaccessible terrain 24 Kilometres South West of Nowra.

The fire took a run straight to the coast, destroying 5 industrial units, 21 businesses, 109 Sheds, the Huskisson Scout Hall and sadly more than 109 homes.

Firefighters from across the Shoalhaven and the surrounding areas - including crews from Queensland gave up their Christmas and went on to fight the fire for 29 days before it was out.

This can happen, look at the images below.

It took a single day for the fire to travel from inland to the coast.

What can be done to minimise this loss?

Attending events such as Get Ready Day (This Sunday September 20th, 10-3) can equip you and your loved ones with the knowledge on how to:

- Prepare your home 🏠

- Make a Bush Fire Survival Plan 📝

- Have the tools at your fingertips to identify when to leave ⚠️

Attending these events builds community resilience, allowing you and your community to better fend and manage future disasters.

We hope to see a large community presence this Sunday at our Station (Behind the Cinema on Owen Street Huskisson) - so please share this post.
