Merrylands Fire Station

Autumn is a great time to tick off a few simple home fire safety checks

Clear your gutters, test your smoke alarms, remove leaves from around the home and make sure your escape plan is up to date

A few minutes now can help keep your home safer as we head towards winter.

A working smoke alarm can make all the difference in a home fire.
Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell AFSM joined Sunrise to remind the community about the importance of having working smoke alarms in every home.
Need help checking or installing one? We can help.

Home Safety Visits - Fire and Rescue NSW A safety visit can assist in helping you reduce the risk of an accidental fire in the home and safely escape it.

A huge thank you to the Merrylands community for coming out and supporting the Open Day at NSW Station.

The day was a massive success, with hundreds of families joining our crews, exploring the station, checking out the appliances, meeting firefighters, and learning important fire safety messages that help keep our community safe.

From home fire escape plans and smoke alarms to kitchen fire safety and emergency preparedness, it was great to see so many people engaged and taking safety seriously.

A special thank you to all the volunteers, staff, and crews who worked hard behind the scenes to make the day run smoothly. Community connection is a big part of what we do, and it was fantastic to see everyone come together.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year. Stay safe, Merrylands.

Through our FREE Safety Visit program firefighters can assist elderly residents who need smoke alarms installed, or batteries replaced.

What kind of Hot Cross Bun are you?
We have nothing against 1-4… but let’s be honest, no one’s picking number 5. That’s what happens when you “just check your phone for a sec” while cooking. Stay sharp in the kitchen because nobody wants the burnt bun.

Lithium Battery Safety: A Message from Fire & Rescue NSW

Lithium-ion batteries (like those in e-bikes, e-scooters, phones & power tools) are one of the fastest-growing fire risks in NSW.

Keep yourself and your family safe:

- Buy safe: Use batteries & chargers from reputable brands.
- Charge safe: Never charge while you’re asleep or away. Keep batteries on a hard surface, away from beds, couches & exits.
- Don’t ignore damage: If a battery is swollen, hot, leaking or smells strange, stop using it immediately.
- Dispose safe: Never throw batteries in household bins. Recycle them at approved drop-off points.
- If it smokes or catches fire: Get out, close doors, and call 000.
