TRUCK FIRE: Just before midday today Fire and Rescue NSW Station 316 Goonellabah, Lismore FRNSW and various NSW RFS Appliances responded to reports of a Cattle Truck Fire.

Crews worked swiftly to contain the blaze to the cab of the truck while ensuring livestock onboard were safely removed.

Lest we forget.

Before the sun rises, we remember.
Our ranks have long been shaped by military service. Firefighters who served in the World Wars, and in the conflicts and humanitarian crises since. The skills, the discipline, and the Anzac spirit carry across. Many never returned. Their names, and their sacrifice, are part of who we are. It is a connection that runs between our service and theirs, and one that continues to this day.

Lest we forget.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Meet firefighter Nahanni Cox

Nahanni is an absolute super mum to her two boys and works as a Sales Administrator at LJ Ho**er, whilst also working as an On-Call Firefighter at Goonellabah Fire Station. She’s not just a hero at home and at work, she’s our hero too.

This morning, our crew responded to two fire alarms and a gas leak before all before 9am. When our pagers sound, our firefighters often leave work or home at a moment’s notice to protect the community.

We’d like to thank our crew’s family and primary employers, including LJ Ho**er Ballina , for their ongoing support and understanding of the On-Call firefighter role. Without that support, we wouldn’t be able to respond when our community needs us most.

When you support their business, you’re helping keep our community safe.
