For up to date incident information refer to https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me The Berowra Rural Fire Brigade has continued to grow and serve the Berowra Community since being formed by Hornsby Shire Council on 27th October 1943. The Brigade volunteers show tremendous community spirit and courage in protecting their local community from the threat of bushfires. These volunt

🔥 TOTAL FIRE BAN: SATURDAY 5 SEPTEMBER. A TOTAL FIRE BAN will be in place tomorrow, Saturday 5 September, for the Greater Sydney Region.

EXTREME FIRE DANGER is forecast. The NSW Rural Fire Service advises residents to take action now to protect your life and property.

If you live in a bush fire risk area:

• Action your Bush Fire Survival Plan now.
• Know what you will do if a fire starts.
• Monitor fire and weather conditions throughout the day.
• Be prepared to act early.
• Do not wait for a fire to threaten your property before making decisions.

During a Total Fire Ban, you cannot light, maintain or use a fire in the open, or undertake activities in the open that cause, or are likely to cause, a fire.

Stay informed through the NSW Rural Fire Service, Hazards Near Me NSW, local radio and the Bureau of Meteorology.

Extreme Fire Danger means fires can spread quickly and be extremely dangerous. Take action now to protect your life and property.

🔥 Know your plan. Be prepared. Act early.

Hazard reduction burns are taking place across NSW this week where favourable conditions allow, to reduce bush fire risk and help protect communities ahead of the next fire season. Today, RFS crews are assisting the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service with the Blaxland Ridge East Stage 2 hazard reduction burn in the Hawkesbury region of the Wollemi National Park.

Smoke from this burn may be visible locally and in areas of western Sydney this afternoon, settling overnight in to tomorrow morning before clearing through the day.

Please only call Triple Zero (000) if you see an unattended fire. For more information, visit the Hazards Near Me app or the RFS website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/hr

This afternoon, we were asked to visit a resident in Berowra Heights to complete a property inspection. What a magnificent view!

The resident is extremely well prepared, but 24 years on from the last major bushfire event to impact Berowra, we had a really good conversation about something that can easily be overlooked: are you still physically and mentally prepared to do what you may have done all those years ago?

We love spending time with our residents and helping them prepare themselves, their families and their properties for the risk of bushfire.

Planning to make a plan is not a plan.

We love where we live, but bushfire is a risk where we live too. Having a Bush Fire Survival Plan means making some important decisions well before there is a fire threat, including whether you will leave early or stay and defend, and understanding what that decision will require of you.

Be on the front foot. Prepare your property, have the conversation and make your plan.

If you’d like us to visit your property and provide a property inspection, please get in touch. And if you need some help working through your Bush Fire Survival Plan, just ask. We’re happy to sit down with you, talk it through and help you put a plan together.

Don’t wait for smoke in the air. Know what you’re going to do before you need to do it.
