Fire and Rescue NSW Station 512 Yenda

22/10/2026

Mark Richards was one of us.
He served at 512 for eleven years
He was on his way back in, he had just one more step to get signed off.

Mark was the best mate to be by your side
He had your back.
He went where he had to go
Bushfires
Floods
Everything ... everywhere in between.

Please support the family using this GoFund me link.

Rest in Peace Marko.

This fundraiser is just getting started, and sharing helps so much in the early days. Mark was a truly kind person who made a difference in so many lives, and now his family needs our support. Tegan and her children are facing an unimaginable loss, and any help with funeral costs, bills, or everyday needs would mean a lot. Even if you can't donate, a quick share can help this reach someone who may be able to support. Let’s come together to show love and kindness for Mark’s family during this difficult time ❤️.

Please like, comment, and share to help spread the word.

The beloved Mark Richards was taken from us far too soon in a sudde… Jessica Clark needs your support for Support Tegan and Her Children After Losing Mark ❤

Whether it's in Sydney ... or way out west like us, look on your naturestrip or roadside for a hydrant.

In Yenda, we have two different water supplies and hydrants.

Yellow or White Hydrants.

It doesn't matter the colour, just keep them free from weeds, obstacles and overgrowth.

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices. It will be ready to use in October 2026, but before it launches, we need to test the system across Australia.

On Monday 27 July, your mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.
The test times across NSW are.
2:00 pm AEST
1:30 pm ACST (Broken Hill NSW)

The message will vibrate and include a loud, siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds. If this could disrupt you or cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in your location, and leave them off for at least one hour.
As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything, but in an actual disaster you should follow the alert instructions to keep yourself and others safe.
To learn what an AusAlert sounds like, visit ausalert.gov.au
