MEET OUR CREW!

Today marks the beginning of the Bush Fire Danger Period in NSW and, as we head into the warmer months, we’d like to introduce some of the amazing volunteers who make up your local rural fire brigade.

🧑‍🚒 First up is our new Captain, Brent McKee.

“It is a privilege to step into the role of Captain of Beacon Hill Brigade.

I am incredibly proud of our station, our members and the way we serve our community. I may now wear three stripes and the red helmet, but rest assured, I will always be ready to muck in, pull hose when needed and support our members.

Above all, I will always put the best interests of the brigade and its members at the heart of every decision I make.”

As a volunteer brigade, we’re so fortunate to have leaders who lead from the front and are committed to supporting both our members and the community we serve.

Good luck Brent for your first year as Captain at Beacon Hill RFB.

🔥 A quick reminder that the Bush Fire Danger Period is now in effect. If you’re planning a burn-off, permits may be required and conditions should always be checked before lighting a fire.

A quick update from our crew in the Northern Tablelands.

Over the past few days, they have been assisting with gathering fire intelligence, hotspot patrols and mop-up operations around contained fires near Tenterfield and Inverell. Plenty of kilometres have been covered, with challenging terrain and a storm keeping things interesting along the way.

Keep up the great work and stay safe crew. 🔥🚒

Five of our members have travelled to the Northern Tablelands to assist with bushfire operations near Tenterfield as part of a multi-day deployment.

After a long journey by bus, plane and bus again, they arrived just after midnight this morning and have now commenced firefighting duties alongside many other volunteers from across NSW.

We thank our members Bailey, Mark, Zack, Alpha, Venn and Tom for their commitment and dedication in supporting communities affected by bushfires and wish them a safe deployment. 🔥🚒

🔥 Weekend Wrap-Up – Beacon Hill Brigade 🔥

It was a busy weekend for our members!

Saturday saw us running the BBQ at Bunnings Frenchs Forest, with a crew and truck on hand promoting Get Ready Weekend and chatting with locals about bushfire preparedness.

Saturday evening, BH members took part in the Kimbriki HR. Thanks to everyone involved in another successful operation especially those on the overnight shift, huge effort from all.

On Sunday, we opened the station for Get Ready Day and welcomed lots of local families who enjoyed the activities, kids’ packs and, of course, climbing aboard the trucks and using the hoses. Thanks also to Michael Regan, Independent Member for Wakehurst for stopping by.

To finish off the weekend at our Sunday evening social, we were thrilled to welcome back our Secretary, Sally Bamford, after two years of travelling. Great to have you back, Sally! We look forward to having your energy, enthusiasm and experience back on the team! 🫶

A big thank you to all our volunteers for giving up their weekend to support the community. 👏🚒

🔥 Hazard Reduction Complete – Cromer Road Reserve 🔥

Two Beacon Hill crews joined Belrose & Davidson brigades today for a successful hazard reduction burn at Cromer Road Reserve.

Although only 0.6 hectares, the burn will help reduce bushfire risk and protect 16 nearby homes.

👏 Well done to Kate Pindar for leading the operation, Captain Brent McKee for his Sector Leader duties, and Deputy Captain Chris George on his first hazard reduction burn as a Crew Leader.

A big thank you to all firefighters, catering crews and support personnel involved.

🚒 RFS Hazard Reduction - Cromer Road Reserve, Cromer 🚒

Beacon Hill Rural Fire Brigade will be conducting a hazard reduction burn at Cromer Road Reserve on Monday 14 September, weather permitting.

🔥 Operations are expected to commence from 10:00am.

Residents may notice smoke in the area, increased emergency service traffic, and fire visible within the burn area on Monday evening and Tuesday.

Please only call Triple Zero (000) if you see an unattended fire.

To minimise the impact of smoke and embers:
• Keep doors and windows closed
• Bring washing indoors
• Retract pool covers
• Ensure pets have a sheltered area

Thank you for your patience while we undertake this important work to help reduce bush fire risk in our community.

Be bush fire ready this season. Come and meet your local volunteers at Beacon Hill Brigade’s Get Ready Day on Sunday 20 September and learn how to prepare your home and family for bush fire season.
