Today we remember the emergency services volunteers who paid the ultimate sacrifice while protecting their communities, at the annual Emergency Services Volunteer Memorial Service.

The names of volunteers enshrined on the Memorial recognise personnel from NSW Rural Fire Service, NSW SES, Marine Rescue NSW and VRA Rescue NSW.

The event, held at Mrs Macquarie's Point at Sydney Botanical Gardens, will begin at 11am. A live stream of the service can be viewed on the website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/news-and-media/nsw-emergency-services-volunteers-memorial-2026

Today marks the official start of the bush fire season, with the Bush Fire Danger Period beginning in most NSW Local Government Areas.

If you’re planning on conducting a burn, you’ll require a fire permit from your local Fire Control Centre or brigade. Fire permits help ensure fire is used safely and reduces the danger to you, your property and the community.

Residents and land holders must know the rules when it comes to the use of fire. Along with having the required fire permits, you need to notify your local fire authority and neighbours of your intent to burn at least 24 hours in advance.

Have any questions? Reach out to us to find out more!
