Last night our crew assisted our Rural Fire Service colleagues at a structure fire in Booral.

Thankfully there were no injuries, and it was great to see strong cooperation and multi-agency teamwork between the services.

A great example of everyone working together to keep communities safe

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the constable’s family, friends and colleagues during this heartbreaking time.

A female constable has been killed in a motor vehicle crash in Sydney.

With honour she served 💙
