🚨Our amazing Piccadilly crew attended today’s runaway camp fire near Eagle on the Hill. Multiple brigades and 2 water bombers were in attendance. It was a timely reminder that 🔥bushfire risk🔥 is still very active in our area during this continued warm weather.

🚨A very lucky 🍀 driver and passenger tonight on Mt Lofty Summit Rd as a silver sedan tried its hand at off-roading without success. 🚗
Jokes aside, hills driving - like all driving - requires care, attention and driving to the conditions.
These occupants were extremely lucky to have found a gap - and not a tree trunk. 🪾 and were able to go home to their families.
⚠️Please stay safe on the roads.

🚨It’s not just the heat that causes tree limbs🪾to fall, but the extra weight of rain water on leaves can sometimes brings trees or limbs down.
Our crews have had to attend to a few down trees lately to keep the roads clear.
Please be aware, falling trees or limbs can bring down powerlines. Please keep at least 10 metres away from any downed lines and report immediately to 131444.
Stay safe! 🚒

🚨It’s been a busy few days for Piccadilly CFS - particularly with a bit of Freeway action, but today we appreciate our crew who attended the Deep Creek strike team earlier this week.
Whist on site, our firefighters patrolled fire lines and helped out with asset protection.
As a brigade, we were happy to be able to offer our support to the community.

Latest updates from CFS are that crews are now working towards containment of the Deep Creek fire.

Stay safe.

“Your drone footage is not worth more than our members’ lives” 🚁

Your drone footage is not worth more than our members’ lives

Aerial firefighting at the Katarapko fire was forced to stop after an illegal recreational drone was spotted overhead.

That one drone grounded aircraft, delayed firefighting, and put air crews at serious risk.

This is the third drone incident this month.

Drones can collide with aircraft causing catastrophic consequences.

👉 If you fly, we can’t. Keep drones well away from firegrounds.

🚗Old Carey Gully Rd
A timely reminder that Gum Trees are known to drop limbs in hot weather 🪾 - and to take care. Our crew today promptly cleared a limb across both lanes. Thankfully traffic was only blocked for a short time.
Take care in this extreme heat 🥵
