Thanks to NSW SES Port Stephens for hosting us for a great training session! 🚒🤝

It was a valuable opportunity to work together, share knowledge and get hands-on with each other’s equipment. Building these relationships and understanding how each service operates is vital when working together at incidents.

Appreciate you having us along — looking forward to the next one! 💪

🚒🤝 Interagency Training with NSW SES Port Stephens

Our crews recently visited NSW SES - Port Stephens Unit for some valuable joint training, working together to strengthen our skills, teamwork and understanding of each other’s capabilities.

The session included a challenging vehicle rescue scenario involving a car positioned against a wall, with an unconscious driver and a trapped passenger. Crews worked through the scenario, focusing on rescue techniques, equipment and coordination between services.

A great part of the training was swapping tools and equipment between services, giving everyone the opportunity to become familiar with the tools used by the other crews and better understand how we can work together at an incident.

A big thank you to NSW SES Port Stephens for hosting us and providing a great opportunity to learn from each other.

Stronger together, safer together! 💪🚒🧡

Crews are out checking hydrants preparing for the bushfire season

Are you ready ?

Spring is a good time to clear out what's built up around your home. Remove leaves and debris from gutters and cut back overgrown vegetation close to the house.
Keeping these areas clear can help reduce the risk as bushfire season approaches.

We were up early this morning with this incident on the Pacific Highway near Kaurah. Great team work from all agencies involved last night

Medowie crews were called out overnight to assist with a Motor Vehicle Accident where a car and B-Double fuel tanker has collided. It took rescue crews nearly an hour to free the driver of the car before they were treated by ambulance crews and eventually airlifted to hospital. Fortunately the fuel tanker was empty at the time.

Incredible work by all emergency services in some very difficult conditions.
