πŸš’ Meet the Brigade Monday πŸš’

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

πŸ‘¨β€πŸš’ 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.

πŸ”₯ 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.

πŸ’­ Ever thought about joining?
Being part of the RFS is more than fighting fires β€” it’s learning new skills, making lifelong friendships and helping make a difference in your local community.

If you’ve ever been curious about volunteering, feel free to reach out and have a chat with us! πŸš’

Wrapping up National Volunteer Week πŸš’πŸ‘ 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 πŸ”₯🚨

While supporting the event, Mt Arthur 1 was also tasked to a truck rollover πŸš›. Thankfully, the driver walked away with only a few bumps and scrapes πŸ‘

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 πŸ‘¨β€πŸš’πŸ‘©β€πŸš’

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:

πŸš’ Captain – Shaun Doughty
πŸš’ Senior Deputy Captain – Thomas Bell
πŸš’ Deputy Captain – Don Macrone
πŸš’ 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. πŸ‘πŸš’

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.

This National Volunteer Week, Mt Arthur Rural Fire Brigade would like to recognise and thank every volunteer who helps make our communities stronger.

From emergency services, sporting clubs and community groups to fundraising committees, charities and local events β€” volunteers are the backbone of our great communities.

These incredible people give up their time at all weird and wonderful hours, often missing family events, sleep and even pay, simply for the love of helping others and supporting their community.

The work volunteers do often goes unseen, but without them many organisations, events and services simply would not exist. Their dedication, passion and willingness to lend a hand is what keeps communities connected and thriving.

To every volunteer across our region and beyond β€” thank you for the countless hours, hard work and sacrifices you make. Your efforts never go unnoticed and your communities are better because of you.

This National Volunteer Week, Mt Arthur Rural Fire Brigade would like to acknowledge the amazing volunteers of the Volunteer Rescue Association.

VRA volunteers are there through emergencies, searches, rescues and community support operations, always ready to step up whenever help is needed.

These volunteers dedicate endless hours to training, responding and supporting their communities β€” often sacrificing family time, sleep and income simply because they care about helping others.

Emergency services rely heavily on volunteers, and communities are stronger because of people willing to serve without expecting anything in return.

To every VRA volunteer β€” thank you for your commitment, passion and service to the community.

Whether it’s storms, floods, road crash rescue, searches or helping communities recover after disasters, SES volunteers are always there when people need them most.

They give up countless hours with family and friends, miss sleep, miss pay and put their own lives on hold β€” all to support and protect their communities.

Your dedication, teamwork and willingness to help at the weirdest and most challenging hours never goes unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do for communities across NSW.

This National Volunteer Week, New South Wales Rural Fire Service and Mt Arthur Rural Fire Brigade would like to recognise the incredible dedication of all our volunteer firefighters.

From grass fires and structure fires to storms, accidents and community events, these volunteers answer the call at all hours of the day and night β€” often leaving their families, workplaces and beds behind to help protect their community.

They do it without expecting recognition or pay, simply for the love of helping others and giving back to the community they call home.

To every NSW RFS volunteer across the state β€” thank you for your commitment, sacrifice and tireless efforts. Your community appreciates everything you do, even the work that often goes unseen.

πŸ”₯ Mt Arthur Reserve Fire – Update πŸ”₯

Mt Arthur Brigade responded to a vegetation fire today in the Mt Arthur Reserve area.

With the assistance of Helitak 223, along with local crews and supporting agencies, the fire was contained and brought under control. Crews remained on scene for black-out and monitoring to ensure no further spread.

We remind the community to remain vigilant, follow all fire restrictions, and report any fires immediately by calling 000.

A big thank you to our volunteers and partner agencies, including Helitak 223, for their hard work and commitment in challenging conditions. πŸš’πŸšπŸ‘

Stay safe,
Mt Arthur Brigade
