🚒 Meet the Brigade Monday 🚒

This week we're introducing Kerrie Sumner, one of our dedicated Advanced Firefighters.

👩‍🚒 What's your name and role within the brigade?
My name is Kerrie Sumner and I am an Advanced Firefighter (AF).

⏳ How long have you been part of the RFS?
I've been with the RFS for nearly 3 years.

❤️ What inspired you to join the RFS?
A friend told me it would be a great way to give back to the community after the volunteer organisations I was involved with had folded. I also wanted to challenge myself and try something new.

🤝 What's your favourite part about being in the brigade?
Everyone says fighting fires, but for me it's the mateship. It's being there to help someone when they're at their worst, and just as importantly, being there to see them at their best.

🚨 What's something people might not realise about the RFS?
It's not always about fighting fires. The RFS is no longer a male-dominated organisation—females like myself are welcomed and encouraged to get involved.

There are also many different roles available. If getting your hands dirty isn't your thing, there are opportunities in catering, community engagement, supporting events such as car drags, and many other areas. Whether you want to fight fires or support behind the scenes, there's a role for everyone.

💭 Thinking about volunteering?
No matter your background, skills or experience, there's a place for you in the RFS. Come along, challenge yourself, make lifelong friendships and help make a difference in your community.

🚒 Meet the Brigade Monday 🚒

This week we're introducing Marty, one of our Deputy Captains.

👨‍🚒 What's your name and role within the brigade?
My name is Marty and I am a Deputy Captain.

⏳ How long have you been part of the RFS?
I first joined the RFS with Muogamarra on 15 February 2016. I have also been a member of Sandy Point RFB and Menangle Park RFB.

🔥 What inspired you to join the RFS?
I had always wanted to be a firefighter. Not just any firefighter—I wanted to be part of the crew that gets dropped into remote areas by helicopter. In September 2020, I joined the Sutherland RAFT Team. Most importantly, I wanted to support my community.

🤝 What's your favourite part about being in the brigade?
The brotherhood. When you're part of a good brigade, you build very close friendships. When you meet others on a deployment, you're brothers and sisters on the fireground, working together for the same cause.

🚨 What's something people might not realise about the RFS?
We're just like any other emergency service. While people are moving away from danger, we're moving towards it. But we're still human—we have feelings and emotions that can affect us after major incidents.

Please be mindful when interacting with emergency service volunteers. We're doing the best we can. We're volunteers who also have jobs, families and other commitments. The last thing we want to hear is, "What took you so long?"

Let's take a moment to thank all volunteers, regardless of the uniform they wear. 👏

💭 Interested in joining?
The RFS offers a wide range of opportunities, from local brigade activities through to specialist teams such as RAFT. If you'd like to serve your community, learn new skills and become part of a great team, we'd love to hear from you.

👨‍🚒 What's your name and role within the brigade?
My name is Donald Macrone, and I am the Brigade President and a Deputy Captain.

⏳ How long have you been part of the RFS?
I am currently in my tenth year with the RFS.

❤️ What inspired you to join the RFS?
I wanted to help out my community.

🤝 What's your favourite part about being in the brigade?
The friendships I've made and being able to help when I can.

🚒 What's something people might not realise about the RFS?
There are lots of different things you can do within the RFS. It's not just firefighting—there are opportunities in areas such as aviation and many other support roles.

💭 Interested in becoming a volunteer?
The RFS has a role for people from all walks of life. Whether you're interested in firefighting, supporting operations, or learning new skills while helping your community, we'd love to hear from you.

🚒 Meet the Brigade Monday 🚒

This week we’re introducing our recently appointed Brigade Captain, Shaun Doughty!

👨‍🚒 Who are you and what role do you play within the brigade?
My name is Shaun Doughty and I’ve recently stepped into the role of Brigade Captain.

⏳ How long have you been part of the RFS?
I’ve been with the RFS since 2006.

🔥 What sparked your interest in joining the RFS?
I first got involved through a school cadet program and instantly loved it. From there I never looked back.

🤝 What keeps you coming back year after year?
The teamwork and camaraderie. Being able to help our community alongside brigade members and other emergency services is something special.

🚨 What’s something people may be surprised to learn about the RFS?
Many people think we only fight bush fires, but we attend a wide range of incidents. We work alongside other agencies responding to floods, motor vehicle accidents, structure fires and many other emergencies.

Wrapping up National Volunteer Week 🚒👏 with another busy day for Mt Arthur Brigade.

Today we assisted the Dubbo City Car Club inc. at the Bodangora Drag Races 🏁, providing fire protection to help ensure a safe event for competitors and spectators should anything happen 🔥🚨

While supporting the event, Mt Arthur 1 was also tasked to a truck rollover 🚛. Thankfully, the driver walked away with only a few bumps and scrapes 👍

Days like today show the variety of incidents our volunteers respond to and the important role they play in supporting our community ❤️ A big thank you to all volunteers who continue to give their time to help others 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

23/05/2026

As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, Mt Arthur Brigade recently held our AGM and would like to welcome the new hierarchy within the brigade:

🚒 Captain – Shaun Doughty
🚒 Senior Deputy Captain – Thomas Bell
🚒 Deputy Captain – Don Macrone
🚒 Deputy Captain – Marty Gully

We would also like to take this opportunity to recognise and thank outgoing Captain Lyle Carpenter for his dedication and leadership.

Lyle has been steering the ship since 2005 and, with over 20 years serving as Captain, has dedicated countless hours, effort and commitment to Mt Arthur Brigade and our local community. His leadership, knowledge and support over the years have been greatly appreciated and have helped shape the brigade into what it is today.

While stepping down from the Captain's role, we're pleased to say Lyle will still remain with Mt Arthur Brigade as a firefighter.

Thank you, Lyle, for everything you have done and continue to do for the brigade and community. 👏🚒

We would also like to wish the new leadership team all the very best in their roles moving forward. We look forward to continuing to build on the strong foundations of the brigade and working together to support our community.
