NSW RFS - Mongarlowe Brigade

18/10/2026

Thank you to everyone who attended our Get Ready Weekend today to connect with their local brigade and community ahead of the upcoming fire season.

As always, Captain Paul Bott gave a great overview of climate drivers and how we can each prepare our properties to be in the best position in the case of bushfire.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Fire Danger Ratings give you clear actions you can take. The higher the rating is, the more dangerous the conditions will be. You can use the Fire Danger Ratings as a trigger for action in your bush fire survival plan.

To find out more, talk to your Brigade at your local Mongarlowe Get Ready Weekend event on the 18th October 2026, or check the RFS website: https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/firedanger-ratings or www.myfireplan.com.au

Make sure you have hoses long enough to reach around
your home, a reliable source of water (pool, tank or dam)
and a diesel/petrol pump available. A well prepared home
will give you more protection if a fire threatens suddenly
and you cannot leave. Learn more at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/

Preparing for a bush fire isn’t just about your
household – it’s about your community too.

Take a moment to think about the people around you
who may need extra support during an emergency.

A simple conversation before the bush fire season
could make a big difference when conditions change.
Consider checking in with:
• Older neighbours.
• People living with disability or health conditions.
• Families who may need help with transport before
an evacuation.

Ask about their Bush Fire Survival plan and if need
be help connect them up with your local RFS brigade
this Get Ready Weekend. A prepared community is a
safer community. By planning ahead and looking out
for one another, we can all be better prepared this
bush fire season.
