It's been a busy Sunday for the Tweed Coast brigade, starting with a 2:30am car fire just south of the bridge on Tweed Coast Road. The vehicle crashed into a power pole, snapping it in half and bringing down power lines before becoming fully engulfed in flames.

Upon returning to station four hours later, our crew was immediately paged to an overheated EV car battery in Pottsville, thankfully without major incident.

And lastly our volunteers were called to a single vehicle car crash on Clothiers Creek Road just before lunchtime.

It was a busy Sunday for Tweed Coast brigade volunteers!

First call was around lunchtime, where we responded to a bushfire. Second call was a few hours later, a motor vehicle accident at Seabreeze.

Third call was mid afternoon - as per the video - a bushfire that started in bushland behind the Pottsville Ambulance station and came close to a few properties (thanks to Cudgen Rural Fire Brigade for their assistance).

And lastly, our fourth call of the day was an Ambulance Assist at Round Mountain, just after dinnertime.

Almost time for the 2025 Tweed Coast Santa Run!

With a sprinkle of yuletide magic, Xmas Eve will see the Tweed Coast RFS accompany Santa from the Pottsville Sports and Bowls Club area around 3:15pm. One fire truck will first cover the Pottsville North region, before heading to Black Rocks and then driving north back into Pottsville.

A second fire truck will start from Seabreeze around the same time, travelling into Koala Beach and then Hastings Point.

Cabarita and Bogangar residents can expect a visit from Santa with help from the Cudgen Rural Fire Brigade, please check their page for timings.
