Well done to Phil, Kim & Andrew from our unit for completing the Storm and Water Damage course and thankyou for giving up weekend. This is a great start to the unit rebuilding, then to serve the Wagait and surrounding communities when needed.

If you think you would like to help your community with us, send us a message or drop into the community hall Tuesday nights 6-8pm or call 0429 114 666.

Last Territory Day, our crews were kept busy. Bushfires NT managed 9 ongoing wildfires and responded to a further 25 incidents. While NT Fire Rescue Service responded to 150 grassfires, 16 rubbish bin fires and 5 other incidents.

Before the celebrations begin:
✔️ Clean your gutters
✔️ Wet your lawns and garden beds
✔️ Check your fire breaks
✔️ Have a hose on stand-by
✔️ Move flammable items away from your house or shed
Let’s all plan, celebrate safely, and reduce the risk to fellow Territorians.

The most orange day of the year is coming soon.

Wear Orange Wednesday (WOW day) is on May 20 and is the time to recognise and thank the incredible NT Emergency Service volunteers who dedicate their time and skills to support our community. If you’ve received assistance from NTES volunteers over the last few months of wild weather, you can thank them by getting involved in WOW Day.

To show your support this WOW Day, you can wear orange and host a morning tea at your school, workplace or community area.

This year children can get involved by sending a letter of kindness to share a personal message to our NTES volunteers. Simply submit the letters of kindness and coloured-in cartoons of SES mascot Paddy the Platypus by emailing [email protected].
Every submission leads to a chance for NTES to visit your school!

The letter and colouring-in template, tips to host a banger morning tea, and more info can be found here: https://vist.ly/42ijj

We want to see how orange you can get! Share photos of your morning teas with .
