As a former RFS and SES volunteer I watch with nervous anticipation. Letβs hope all the volunteers have a quiet day and night.

Rain, hail, or shine - Braidwood Rural Fire Service training this afternoon was slightly on the soggy side but worth practising skills no matter the weather...

Cover of the NSW RFS Wildfire Behaviour Manual. Blue text box added that reads "Passed". Also has my first name and the date 31 August 2025
Spent the weekend doing the NSW RFS Wildfire Behaviour course (1 of 4 courses that make up the Advanced Firefighter qualification). I passed! One down 3 to go!

On the left are three large NSW Rural Fire Service trucks, the caption above reads "what my internet friends think I'll be driving in the RFS". On the right, some distance from the trucks is a small firefighting truck the size of a farm utility, underneath is the caption "Reality" with a laughing emoji.
Last weekend I completed and passed the #NSWRFS "Rural Fire Driving" course, and this weekend I completed and passed the "Off Road Driving" course.
I learnt so much - but it would not have been possible without the encouragement, support, and training from my brigade. #Braidwood

54 NSW specialists are departing Sydney this morning to support efforts against >200 wildfires burning across #Canada. 36 x #NSWRFS, 16 x #NPWS and 2 x Forestry.
They join a 96-strong Australian contingent deploying for around 5 weeks. Safe travels crews. @AFACnews
Went out on an ambo assist today. A bit chaotic - involving an older community member - nothing catastrophic thankfully.
Anyhoo - check in on your elderly family members or neighbours, especially if they have been recently bereaved - grief & loneliness are a terrible combination.

Plans? What plans...
Just back from an ambo/police assist.

A group of five NSW RFS Volunteers training to put out a gas fire.
Good training day today. Got soaking wet, but now know how to safely approach and extinguish a gas fire.

A white ambulance helicopter landing in the middle of a recreation ground.
Photo of my legs stretched out on an outdoor seat. My RFS jacket and helmet are near my feet. Not in shot are the flakes of donut icing on my top.
Glad I submitted my writing last night, because this morning has been hectic.
Call out for an ambulance assist on a property out of town, then back to the rec ground to prep for the helicopter.
Back home now enjoying the delicious locally made donuts.

Susie inside a fire truck wearing a NSW RFS uniform and an N95 mask.
Inside the fire truck driving through a small Australian country town on our way to a property 25 minutes away.
Went out on my first "live fire" call today. All ended well, but a sad situation involving non-English speaking older folks who were unaware that pile burns need a permit this time of year (and a good water supply on hand!). Total fire ban here tomorrow. Keep hydrated & check on the oldies

Pride Flag. NSW RFS Comment. Thank you all for your feedback about the current RFS profile picture. Our members come from many different backgrounds and cultures and we value inclusion in the RFS workplace. During the week of Sydney Mardi Gras, we show our support for LGBTQIA+ members of the RFS and members of the community by using the pride flag on social media and participating in the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade. Our participation in the Parade began in 2007 and we are proud to support these historically marginalised communities. We support this event alongside numerous other emergency services and government agencies, and will continue to do so into the future.
"LOVE" - 1.6k Angry insecure - 1.3k
The #NSWRFS updated their FB profile picture for Mardi Gras - and it is a beautiful thing to see.
They've had to turn off comments - so many of them are borked, but they did leave a great comment of their own (in the ALT). So many "angry" emojis - but so far "LOVE" is in the lead! β€οΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβπ #AusPol

Not long back from my first #NSWRFS call out.
Not a fire, but to assist ambulance service in an isolated rural location.
* Please check in on your elderly neighbours if you haven't seen or heard from them recently - especially after the recent #heatwave *

Do you #Volunteer?
Tell me about the volunteer work you do and include a link so I can boost.
With wildlife? Animal shelters? Emergency services?
Community justice?
Something else?
I'm a volunteer bush firefighter with the NSW RFS.

Would love to see fossil fuel companies pay a climate crisis levy to fund fighting the shitfuckery they create.
Shouldn't be a problem to raise a few billion in Australia:
