Modern homes burn faster, because they’re filled with synthetics. So NSW professional firefighters are trained to respond fast too. It’s a matter of life and...

Please Please Please have working smoke alarms!!!!! YOU WILL NOT WAKE UP OR BE ABLE TO GET OUT ONCE A FIRE TAKES HOLD!

As firefighters, we’re trained to “risk a little, to save a little. Risk a lot, to save a lot.”

Earlier today, crews in Sydney went above and beyond in an attempt to save multiple lives at a well-developed house fire in Hinchinbrook. Despite best efforts, multiple have died at the scene, whilst some have been transported to hospital.

What makes it even worse is that these deaths may have been prevented if only the property had working smoke alarms.

Our thoughts are with the victims of this tragic incident, including the first responders that gave their most to protect those involved. Especially the 2 firefighters who were injured in their efforts to assist.

We urge you to make sure the people you care about are safe, including your non-English speaking friends, your elderly neighbour or your ‘she’ll be right’ uncle. Ensure yours and their smoke alarms are working, and that your family has a fire escape plan. For more info go to https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/

Little Ruby got herself lost and stuck under the house. Luckily for her, and her distressed owners, one of our dog lovers on shift, Grant, crawled under there, found her and showed her the way out. As you can see both a very happy puppy and rescuer 🚒 🐶
