🚒 ✈️ Water Bomber Reloading Training – Saturday 10 October

Annual water bomber reloading training will be held Saturday 10 October at 12:30pm at Waverock Airport.

Training is open to anyone aged 18+ - you don’t need to be a firefighter or registered volunteer. It’s a great opportunity to support our local fire response without having to work on the fire frontline.

Annual refresher training is required under aviation regulations, so previous participants are encouraged to attend again.

🚨 Have you tested your smoke alarms lately?

Today is Smoke Alarm Action Day and a great reminder to check your alarms and make sure your home is protected. A working smoke alarm can save lives by giving you early warning in the event of a fire.

✅ Test your alarms, and clean if needed!
✅ Change batteries if needed
✅ Replace alarms older than 10 years

Stay safe this winter 🔥🏠

Today, on International Firefighters' Day, we pause to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and to pay tribute to the courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment of firefighters.

These moving words are a fitting tribute to the brave individuals who put themselves in harm's way to protect our communities - we express our deepest gratitude to all firefighters for your service.

📞 When to Call the SES 📞

During severe weather events like cyclones, it’s important to know when to reach out for help and when to use emergency services.

For storm-related assistance, the SES is here to help. You should call 132 500 if:

🌧️ Your roof is leaking heavily or has been badly damaged
🌊 Your home is flooded or starting to flood
🏠 Your house has significant damage and needs temporary repairs you can’t safely do yourself
🚪 You are trapped in your home due to storm damage
🌳 A large tree has fallen on your house or is blocking access to your property

If the damage is minor and safe to manage, you may need to contact your insurance provider or a private contractor.

🤝 Remember - the SES is here to help keep our community safe. Don’t hesitate to call if you need assistance.

🚗 Move vehicles under cover where possible
🔦 Make sure you have torches, batteries, and emergency supplies ready
