Glenorie RFS

It probably isn't necessary to point out that hazard reduction burning has started in and around Sydney. It was easy enough to see and smell it in our community. Glenorie saw a large area strategically burned to help reduce the fuel loads in surrounding bushland areas.

By undertaking hazard reductions in a controlled and timely manner, ŖÕ Ĵõëčõţ˲čļĆŘ İÕÑŁËÕ ļñÕ Ëñ²čËÕ Ĕê ÕŗĭÕİõÕčËõčë ĔŁļ Ĕê ËĔčļİĔĆ ţİÕĴ ²Ĵ experienced in the summer of 20192020. Fire crews from all over the district joined in to make this hazard reduction a particularly safe event. We were able to have patrolling vehicles and vehicles stationed at properties to ensure containment lines were not breached and that all assets were safe.

The Glenorie Brigade attended one property where Loraine ĆõŕÕÑʣ VĔݲõčÕ ñ²Ñ ÕŗĭÕİõÕčËÕÑ ļñÕ ÊŁĴñ ţİÕĴ ļñ²ļ ݲëÕÑ ļñİĔŁëñ Glenorie almost 20 years ago and was concerned about the safety of this incident.

You don't have to leave us anything at all; we are happy to carry out our jobs with no expectation of reward. We are here to serve the community, and as members of the RFS, we all get a special kick out of that, and that is reward enough.
