Just after 11am this morning, Fire and Rescue NSW Station 077 St Marys were called to Forrester Rd outside Maccas due to the road being flooded. They got to work with a Davey pump. Due to the large amount of water, both Ropes Crossing fire trucks also attended. The tanker was used to draft the water to another stormwater drain.

Once most of the water was removed, Penrith Council unclogged the drain with a sucker truck.

Who's loving this warmer weather more than us.....the snakes are. This afternoon, we attended Kirsty Crescent, Hassall Grove for a snake under a car. Unfortunately the snake had been run over and had passed away.

A short time later, we attended a property in Piccolo Way, Shalvey for a snake behind the freezer. This beautiful diamond python was picked up, assessed and placed into a snake bag before being released into the Yiraaldiya National Park (Shalvey).

Fire+Rescue NSW has some stations such as Ropes Crossing, Menai, Blacktown, Regentville, Warragamba, Campbelltown and Bundeena that may have qualified snake handlers on duty.

If you see a snake and are concerned, stay away from it and call either 000, FRNSW stations, WIRES or a private snake catcher.

At 5pm yesterday, Fire+Rescue NSW responded to multiple calls for a building fire at St Marys Public School. First arriving crews requested further resources resulting in a 4th Alarm Structure Fire. Crews got to work wearing breathing apparatus and using multiple hand lines alongside aerial appliances, to contain the fire to the one building which included the hall and multiple classrooms.

Our thoughts are with the affected students and staff of St Marys Public School.

A long day at the hazard reduction yesterday at Wianamatta Regional Park. Ropes Crossing firefighters and the Rural Fire Service assisted NPWS conduct the burn. The day started with NPWS’s helicopter, Park Air 1, ensuring all kangaroos and emus were out of the burn area.

The hazard reduction was undertaken to reduce a large amount of fuel built up over the years. This will minimise the risk to local properties in the event of a bushfire.

NPWS are continuing to monitor any smouldering logs. If you have a concern and can’t see them in the area, please call 000.

With the warmer weather beginning, please be aware that snakes are starting to make an appearance. Today we attended a home in Palmerston Rd, Mt Druitt for a “snake in house” incident. Hiding behind a cupboard in the laundry was a red belly black snake. It was captured and released into bushland.

FRNSW has some stations that undertake this service using qualified personnel, trained to handle snakes safely. Sydney stations include Ropes Crossing, Blacktown, Regentville, Menai, Campbelltown, Bundeena and Warragamba.

Please note that Snake handlers may not always be 'on-shift' or available to assist. It is best to call the station.

If it is life threatening, please call 000 immediately.
Our Comms centre will either assign the call to a station, advise you to call WIRES or a private snake catcher. It will depend on the situation.

FRNSW do not charge for this service.

If we attend and do catch a snake, we will identify it and see if it is injured. If it is, we will liaise with WIRES.

If it is an introduced species, we will also contact WIRES as we cannot legally release it once caught.
If the snake is a local and in good health, we will release it back into a suitable location (bushland) within a certain distance from where it was captured. We like to release them well away from houses and near a water source.

Finally, if you see a snake, stay away from it. Keep an eye on it if you can and remember, they are probably more scared of you than you are of them.
Please do not harm them.
Call either 000, FRNSW Stations, our friends at WIRES, or a private snake handler.
