🔥🚨 IF A BUSHFIRE WAS HEADING TOWARDS YOUR HOME RIGHT NOW… WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO? 🚨🔥

Bushfires don’t wait for you to be ready.

We’ve seen it happen right here on the Central Coast — fires can start quickly, spread rapidly and cause devastating damage.

The recent fire at Calga is another reminder that we don’t have to be in the bushfire danger period for a bushfire to take off.

⚠️ Don’t wait until you see smoke. Prepare NOW.

🏠 Is your property prepared?
🔥 Do you know when you would leave and where you would go?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Does your family know the plan?
📱 Do you have a Bush Fire Survival Plan?

👨‍🚒 COME AND TALK TO YOUR LOCAL RFS CREW!

Tuggerah Rural Fire Brigade will be at Westfield Tuggerah – Food Court Carpark for Get Ready Weekend.

📅 Saturday 19 September 2026
⏰ 9AM – 4PM

Come down, meet the crew, ask questions and find out how you can prepare your home, family and property before a fire threatens.

👉 NOW is the time. Are you ready?

A busy day for the Tuggerah crews as well as many other Central Coast brigades & surrounding districts. Both Tuggerah 1 & Tuggerah Pumper worked throughout the day on the Bandaroo Road fire at Calga. A great effort from everyone on the fire ground resulting in containment of the fire.

The fire has burnt approximately 19 hectares and is now under control. The fire is currently at advice level.

We are still a few weeks out from the bushfire season on the central coast, this is a great time to ensure to have your bushfire survival plan ready for the upcoming season.

🔥 Fire Call 🔥

Tonight, Tuggerah pumper along with Ourimbah 1 responded to reports of a fire at Palmdale. On arrival crews found a very large and unsafe pile burn. Given the size of the fire, crews requested more resources to provide extra water. Crews worked to extinguish the fire and will patrol it over the next few days as it continues to smoulder.

⚠️Even though we are currently outside of the bushfire danger period, this is a timely reminder that land owners must abide by council requirements and other relevant agencies policies in regard to open burning.

🔥Please do the right thing, illegal or poorly managed burns can become dangerous very quickly and place the surrounding properties in danger.

🔥Hazard Reduction - Tuggerah🔥

Our friends from Fire and Rescue NSW Bushfire Section will be conducting a planned hazard reduction burn Tomorrow 8th August 2026 (weather permitting) within the Tuggerah area.

If you live nearby, please consider doing the following:
- Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering buildings.
- Outdoor items such as outdoor furniture, trampolines, playground equipment etc should be either taken inside or covered. Where this is not practical, items should be hosed down regularly to prevent ember damage.
- Retract plastic or synthetic pool covers to prevent ember damage
- Remove washing from clothes lines.
- Ensure any outdoor pets have a sheltered area.
- If you have asthma or a lung condition, reduce outdoor activities. If smoke levels are high and if shortness of breath or coughing develops, take your reliever medicine or seek medical advice.
- If you are driving a vehicle, slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on.
Never fly drones or Remote Piloted Aircraft near bush fires or hazard reductions, where other aircraft may be operating. Penalties apply.
