Can our Kangaroo Valley fire trucks reach your home in an emergency?

Does your property driveway have overgrown branches and other obstructions?

Fire trucks are much larger than a standard car and need clear space to get through safely. Overhanging branches, blocked access, and hard-to-see property numbers can all slow emergency responses.

Simple tips to improve your property access include:
• Trimming back vegetation along driveways;
• Check gate width and keep access ways clear;
• Make sure your property number is easy to see from the road, even at night.

Clear access and visible address details help us reach you faster when seconds count.

To all our Kangaroo Valley Brigade members and other first responders we share our deep respect and gratitude.

THANK YOU

First responders face challenges every day. In rural and regional areas these challenges are often amplified, as community led emergency services members often assist those they know or to whom there is a close connection.

First responders face uncertainty, stress and operational pressure. They often live in the community they serve and are frequently reminded of past events because of this.

Today is a day to wrap our arms around our first responders. To say thank you and to remind them that we have their back.

So ‘Thank you’. Thank you for your professionalism, your empathy and your commitment to our community.

Last Friday Kangaroo Valley RFS supported the district with a 4.3 ha hectare hazard reduction burn in Woollamia, north of Huskisson.

It was another great opportunity for crews to practise lighting techniques, work to protect residential properties, operating close to main roads and monitoring fire conditions.
Thank you to everyone involved.
