Static Water Supply (SWS)

Static Water Supply signThe Static Water Supply (SWS) Program is a free service that enables residents to help local firefighters by identifying existing water supplies (such as dams, tanks or swimming pools) on their property that could be used for firefighting purposes.

The NSW Rural Fire Service provides specially designed SWS signs for properties with suitable water supplies. This helps firefighters access vital water supplies quickly and efficiently to help them defend your property. Examples of suitable water supplies include:
A property dam which can be used to refill fire tankers and firefighting aircraft such as helicopters which support our firefighters on the ground. A backyard swimming pool, which provides an ideal static water supply for small portable pumps and hose lines to help protect your home. A tank, which with appropriate fittings can also be used to quickly supply water for firefighting.

If you have a pool, tank or dam with more than 3,000 litre capacity and wish to be part of the SWS Program, please contact your local Fire Control Centre or email [email protected], with your name, phone number, address, postcode, local government area.

DID YOU CAMP THIS LONG WEEKEND?

Before you pack up and leave your campsite, make sure your campfire is completely out and cold.

- Use plenty of WATER to put your fire out.
- Don’t just bury it, hot coals can stay hidden underground and potentially reignite.

Pour water over the fire, stir the ashes and coals, then add more water until everything is cool to the touch.

Before you leave, take that extra few minutes to make sure your fire is well and truly out.

Put it out. Soak it. Stir it. Check it.

It is important to remain vigilant for signs of fire once a storm have passed.

Lightning strikes can ignite fires, sometimes hours or even days after the storm has moved through. While there have been no reported fires at this stage, we ask members of the community to keep an eye out for any signs of smoke or fire.

If you see an unattended fire, report it immediately by calling Triple Zero (000).

Early reporting allows firefighters to respond quickly and helps minimise the risk of fires spreading.
