Last week we were invited to Medowie Public School, to give Stage 1 and Early Stage 1 students a chat about Fire Safety. The morning went really well, the children were very inquisitive, some even showing some really good knowledge already.
We hope they were all able to go home and discuss, home fire safety and evacuation drills with their parents.
It was a lovely surprise to receive some amazing cards from the children, showing their appreciation.

This afternoon (05/05/26) we were called to a Tree Alight.
Upon arrival we found the resident had been having a recreational fire.
It would seem that some embers from the recreational fire went and landed in a nearby paperbark and unfortunately ignited the tree.
Crews took no time at all to extinguish the fire.

This is a good reminder to follow a few simple rules in regards to haveing a fire at home, whether it be recreational or a pile burn:
🚒 Do not light a fire close to trees or overhanging vegetation - especially volatile trees like Paperbark or Tea Tree

🚒 Only Green Waste, ie: Dry branches, leaves etc No "Man Made" items, such as bulding waste/treated timber, Paper/cardboard, plastics/fabrics etc etc

🚒 Always have a water source on hand. You never know when something like this may happen, so haveing a charged water hose close by is essential.

ANZAC 2026

A day to remember all service Men and Women.
A day of Saddness, Joy and Proudness of everything they did for us and everything they represent.

They gave so much, so we could live the lives we have.

With war still raging in our world, now more than ever, we love, cherish and respect everything our Armed Forces stand for.

* They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them. *
