🚒 Exciting News for Our Community! 🚒

Today, Lake Innes Brigade proudly welcomed a brand new Category 1 fire fighting appliance into our fleet. This replaces our well-worn 26-year-old truck that has served us faithfully over the years.

Our new appliance is more reliable, safer, and better equipped to respond to emergencies—helping us continue to protect and serve our community more effectively.

🚨🔥 Fire Permits Required from 1 October 2025 🔥🚨

A reminder to all residents that from 1 October 2025, a fire permit is required before you light a fire.

Fire permits help us ensure burning is conducted safely and reduce the risk of bushfires in our community.

👉 You can apply for a permit quickly and easily online via the NSW RFS website:

https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/know-your-risk/Bush-fire-hazards-and-your-property/fire-permits

We thank everyone for working with us to keep our community safe.

Fire permits are important to make sure that fire is used safely. When you have a permit, it tells you the rules for starting and keeping a fire, and it also informs firefighters when you are burning things on your property.
