Menangle, Cawdor and The Oaks Rural Fire Brigades are currently on scene at a call to powerlines arcing on the corner of Remembrance Dr and Finn's Road, Menangle. A passing motorist spotted the Arcing and called 000, allowing for quick identification of the problem location.

Endeavour Energy have identified a possible cause and are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and restore power 🦇

UPDATE: Unfortunately it appears that the arcing has caused damage to the powerlines. Endeavour energy are continuing to work to repair damage and restore power.

It was with extremely heavy hearts this morning that our brigade responded to a structure fire at The Store Menangle.

The Store owners, staff and the building are all very special to our brigade. They are a huge part of our Santa Run, one of the original sponsors of our brigade calendar and have supported many brigade initiatives over the years. The Store truly is the heart of our Menangle community.

Our hearts are broken for Shane, Marcel and the all of their team.

We are very proud of our members who attended and all of the Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW RFS, NSW Ambulance and NSW Police who worked together today to extinguish the fire and keep everyone safe.

Congratulations to Menangle's two newest Village Firefighters- Jess and Tom who successfully completed their Village Firefighter qualification this weekend. Jess and Tom spent the last two weekends learning and being assessed in the skills necessary to respond to a range of village incidents including motor vehicle accidents, vehicle fires, structure fires and flammable gas/ liquid fires.

Thank you also to our Crew Leader in training Dylan for assisting with the course. The future is bright for the brigade with our young members continuing their training and building their skills, knowledge and experience 🚒👩🏽‍🚒👨‍🚒

This afternoon the brigade was paged to an MVA in Menangle which brought powerlines down and closed the road. Crews from NSW Ambulance treated the occupant for minor injuries on the scene before crews from Endeavour Energy isolated power and the vehicle could be removed.

Yesterday morning Menangle Rural Fire Brigade volunteers assisted a local family to undertake a pile burn on their property. This was to reduce fuel load on the property and thus reduce the property owners risk of fire. If you need to undertake a pile burn and would like information or support to do this safely, please reach out to the brigade.

Have you cleaned your chimney or flue recently? If you're lighting up your fireplace this weekend, ensure you check your chimney.

Use a torch to check for creosote build-up or obstructions like bird nests.

Have your chimney professionally cleaned annually.

It has been a busy week for Menangle Rural Fire Brigade attending six emergency call-outs and with crews supporting hazard reduction burns in the Southern Highlands over three days.

Emergency call-outs included grass/ bush fires, a vehicle fire, a HAZMAT incident and a structure fire.

A reminder that even though conditions are cooling down, fuel loads are high and the risk of grass and bush fire is ongoing. Crews from RFS will be taking advantage of weather conditions over coming weeks to continue undertaking hazard reduction burns.

Be sure to have downloaded and installed Hazards Near Me and set-up a watch zone to be aware of fires and hazard reduction activity happening near you.

A busy day for Menangle Rural Fire Brigade. Our Cat 9 is currently onsite at a Hazard Reduction burn in Yerrinbool. Burns such as this are important to reduce the fire risk in the 2026/27 fire season.

This afternoon our Cat 1 was also paged to a grass fire in Douglas Park.

The Official Bush Fire Danger Period concluded at midnight today (31 March 2026) for the Wingecarribee Shire Council and Wollondilly Shire Council LGA's.

From Wednesday 1 April, fire permits will no longer be required for residents, except those properties within the town limits of Warragamba, Picton, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Bowral and Bundanoon, who are required to obtain a fire permit from Fire & Rescue NSW all year round.

Even though a fire permit is no longer required, you must still notify your neighbours and the local fire authority 24 hours before burning as well as comply with any Council Backyard Burning Policies (Wollondilly Council's General Approval to Burn).

Before lighting up, you should also check the forecast weather conditions and have sufficient equipment on hand to control and contain the fire to your own property. Failure to notify neighbours or the RFS, or allowing a fire to escape can result in significant fines.

To notify of your intent to burn, use the online burn notification tool at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify or call your local Fire Control Centre during business hours.
