Senior Fire Fighter Johnny Martin and Station Commander Dale Wade-Ferrell spoke to Robyn Catchlove on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1 this morning about Winter Fire Safety and how Blue Mountains residents can take advantage of FREE Safety Visits and installation of smoke alarms even though Spring is just around the corner.

26 people have tragically died in residential fires this year with many fire fatalities avoidable with the presence of working smoke alarms. Dale & Johnny spoke about a range of topics to remind people to take responsibility for their home fire safety and give us a call if you need help.

Your FREE Safety Visit can be organised by calling the station on 0247848343 or booking On-Line at: https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/fire-safety/home-fire-safety/safety-visits

A shout out to our colleagues at Fire and Rescue NSW Station 359 Lawson with a great fire safety initiative and community service being held next week.
If you know someone who may be interested or benefit from the event, let them know or get along yourself to support.
Great work team.

While the regular Blackheath On-Call crew were all busy supporting each other in the City 2 Surf event today, some familiar faces were covering the station area and headed off in the early hours to be part of the local scene, attending the Blackheath Growers Market, sharing fire safety information and advice... Well done gents.
