The temperature has dropped, and puffer jackets are officially back taking over the streets of NSW!

If you haven’t already, it’s time to dust off your winter woolies as there’s a chilly week of weather ahead. Here’s what we’re expecting:

From Tuesday morning to Wednesday DAMAGING WINDS is forecast in parts of the South Coast, Central Tablelands, Southern Tablelands, Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes Forecast Districts. 🍃

West of the Divide is forecast to have GUSTY THUNDERSTORMS, whilst HEAVY RAINFALL is likely across the Southern/Western Slopes leading into Wednesday.

From Thursday morning stay vigilant of FROST and potential BLACK ICE in part of the ranges/western slopes.

❗Beware the dangers of black ice when driving or walking on hard surfaces. Reduce your speed and exercise caution.

If you're heading out into alpine areas, ensure you're prepared:
🔶 Always check the weather and plan ahead
🔶 Carry a personal locator beacon and tell someone your plans
🔶 Complete a National Park trip intentions form and bring the right gear

🛑 With heavy rainfall forecast in some area, remember to steer clear of floodwaters. If you come across a flooded road, turn around and find an alternative route.

Stay safe and prepared:
🔶 Move your car under cover or away from trees and powerlines if safe to do so.
🔶 Tie down loose items in your yard.
🔶 Trim any over heading branches and clear your gutters

📞If you require assistance, call us on 132 500. In life-threatening situations, call Triple Zero (000)

🚗 Monthly road crash training 🚗

Last night as the fog rolled in, rescue operators practiced their skills, planning and teamwork with a timed scenario of a car on its side containing 5 occupants.

With limited space, all patients were extricated through the rear door and taken to a triage area where we performed first aid, patient observations and practiced CPR.

Thanks to our casualties for playing along in a squishy situation 🙃

A fun morning on Wednesday with these kids! 🧡
