NSW RFS - Eungai Brigade

Proud to host this important event on our District’s calendar.

Today, members from across the district undertook practical assessments in the Crew Leader Wildfire and Crew Leader Supervision qualifications.

These assessments challenged members through a range of realistic incident scenarios, including briefing crews whilst enroute to incidents, conducting size ups, establishing control, implementing tactics, maintaining crew safety and communicating strategies effectively.

Reaching this stage is a significant achievement, with volunteers first completing the Foundational and Technical Programs before progressing into supervision and leadership roles.

A huge thank you to all members involved today - not only those being assessed, but also the many supporting volunteers who helped make the day a success. From evidence gatherers and role players through to communications operators and assessors, your contribution ensured valuable and realistic training outcomes for everyone involved.

Well done to all members for your professionalism, teamwork and commitment to developing the leadership capability of our district.

The bush fire danger period will end at midnight tonight, 31 March 2026. A permit may not be required, however, you are still required to notify the NSW RFS and your neighbours 24 hours before you light a fire.

If you live within a FRNSW area (Bowraville, Kempsey, Macksville, Nambucca, South West Rocks), you will still be required to obtain a permit, even outside of the bush fire danger period.

It's not only fires, floods and motor vehicle accidents.
RFS members give their time and effort to our local community in many ways, such as our annual Santa Run. Thanks team!
