3.00pm Sunday 10 May 2026 (Mothers Day), our category 1 tanker attended the Burdekins Gap fire just south of Bulahdelah.

With the area in drought and having not seen the rain we have had on other areas of the district, the fire behaviour was erratic.

The brigade remained in attendance till approximately 11.00pm conducting back burns and mopping up, along many other brigades.

The fire remains at advice level and under control.

Thanks to those RFS members and brigades who took the time out of Mothers Day to assist.

🔥Burn clean cured (
