Are you prepared for bushfire season? 1 October (next week) marks the start of the Bush Fire Danger Period, but we are already seeing increased fire activity.

A few things to consider:
- Fire Permits are always required in Newcastle LGA, and will be required after 1 October in Port Stephens LGA.
- Prepare your home e.g. clean out your gutters, trim overhanging trees, remove flammable material from around your home, make sure you have a reliable water source (i.e. sturdy hose/s). Burning embers can set your home on fire.
- Agree on a Fire Plan with your friends and family. Know bush fire alert levels (Advice, Watch and Act, Emergency Warning), keep up to date on hazards, traffic and air quality alerts, discuss and agree on a plan, have your emergency supplies ready (e.g. medication, cash, water), determine a safe place in your neighbourhood.
- Wherever you are, understand that smoke exposure is harmful to your health, even for healthy people. Exposure has whole-of-body impacts, affecting every major organ in the body. During poor air quality events close all windows and doors, block gaps, recirculate air, consider HEPA filtration for inside and P2 masks when outside and remember to fully ventilate the home and clean everything once the risk has passed.

On Monday 446 Stockton responded to a bushfire in the mangroves near Stockton bridge. Grateful to NSW National Parks Fire team and RFS Salt Ash for their assistance. Our urban pumper P446 is not able to access areas with unsealed surfaces. Support the fire service by asking NSW Government to fund upgrades to our fleet 😁

Tomorrow is a Total Fire Ban in the Greater Hunter District, with the Fire Danger Rating forecast as Extreme. During a Total Fire Ban you cannot light, maintain or use a fire in the open, or carry out any activity in the open that causes, or is likely to cause, a fire.

Today 446 Stockton responded to a car fire and bushfire in Worimi National Park. Windy conditions likely contributed to the spread to approximately one hectare of bush. Thanks to Fire and Rescue NSW Station 251 Cardiff, 500 Tingara Heights and RFS East Maitland for turning out with their tankers for water supply.

Don't worry, EK Pete is fine, this is just a drill. It's called tactical napping 👨‍🚒

446 Stockton has attended a number of medical incidents recently, so we spent our fortnightly drill running through scenarios related to emergency life support, cardiac arrest, CPR, defibrillation and advanced care handover.

Huge appreciation from us for the work the incredible paramedics from NSW Ambulance do daily in this space, it is a tough job.

If you ever find yourself in a position of needing to maintain critical blood flow and heart movement before emergency services arrive, a few things to remember:
- Call Triple Zero (000) immediately. They will support you on what to do next.
- Check for danger, ensure you don't put yourself at risk of what may have caused the incident.
- If the person is unconscious and not breathing correctly, immediate, continuous chest compressions in the first few minutes are critical.
- Open the airway. Hands on the centre of the chest, kneel close, lock elbows with straight arms to a depth of at least 5cm at a rate of 100 - 120 compressions per minute. This can be tiring, get support from a second person to work in if available.
- Remember to not hesitate to treat a woman in the same way. Unfortunately women have a lower chance of survival from bystander hesitation to remove clothing or touch the patient. We will control the scene, uphold dignity and minimise exposure to onlookers if called to the scene.

You could be the person who makes the difference in those first critical minutes. Don't be afraid to act, call 000, start CPR and follow the instructions of the emergency services operator 🚒

To all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers and father figures in our community, Happy Father’s Day ❤️

Those who protect, guide, encourage and show up for others play an important role in building strong, safe communities.

Today, we’re celebrating some of the Rad Dads in our crew, while also recognising the many people who contribute in the same spirit as uncles, mentors, coaches, community leaders and role models who support and guide the next generation.

Stay safe, and look after each other. 👨‍🚒

Did you know that FRNSW is the primary designated combat agency for HAZMAT (hazardous materials) in NSW?

Today we attended a HAZMAT incident involving a hydrocarbon fuel gas cylinder in mangroves. Our crew completed risk assessment, gas monitoring, community liaison and establishment of an exclusion zone while specialist contractors are engaged for removal. Thanks to our specialist Fire and Rescue NSW Hazmat team from Newcastle for their attendance, and Williamtown/Salt Ash Rural Fire Brigade and Medowie RFS for their support. We are grateful to share an operational area with such amazing crews from RFS.

Recruitment info session tonight, 6pm, Stockton Fire Station.

Check us out last night training on what to do in a burnover situation (a situation where escape routes and safety zones are cut off and a fire overruns crew and equipment). This Bushfire Tanker has halo sprays, thermal curtains and other protective heat-resistant equipment. We are preparing for bushfire season, would you like to join us protecting the community? Chat with us tonight 🔥

We had a cool little moment at 446 Stockton today 🙂

Women have long played critical roles in firefighting in Australia, from the Women's Fire Auxiliary during WWII, to the volunteers of the early 20th century and all those that contributed in brigade support roles over many years. With the S*x Discrimination Act of 1984 breaking down the pay barrier, women were able to become paid Retained Firefighters in NSW Fire Brigade from 1986. Today we reflected on the courage, tenacity, determination and dedication of all people who have laid the foundations for us to contribute. I'm told it may not be the first all-woman crew from 446, but it was a first for all in this crew.

Proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all of our Firefighter colleagues, in a station environment where we wouldn't need to think twice about speaking up about what's important to us, our crew and community. Great to be out with this crew today (and another crew member that joined us later) for a fire safety talk with some of the youngest members of our community. Stop, drop, cover and roll!

Have you ever wondered if you could be a Retained Firefighter? Come down to our recruitment info session at Stockton Fire Station tomorrow at 6pm to chat with us. Be part of something special 👩‍🚒
