Fire And Rescue Nsw Station 454 Tarro

New roads rules when around emergency services.

In October this year, two of Tarro Fire & Rescue firefighters will be teaming up with fellow firefighters from Raymond Terrace Fire & Rescue station to take on climbing Sydney tower's 1504 stairs (98 floors) along with hundreds of firefighters from all over the country. They will be wearing structural firefighting clothing including breathing apparatus. This adds up to an additional 20kg in total! They will be doing this all in the name of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Firefig...hters Jeff, Scott, James and Isabel are hoping to raise $3000 which will go towards MND research at the Macquarie University MND Research Centre.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive, terminal neurological disease. There is no known treatment or cure. Each day, in Australia, two or more people die from MND and more than two people are diagnosed with MND every day.
MND can strike anyone anytime and It is estimated that there are presently around 420,000 people worldwide diagnosed with MND and about 2000 people with MND in Australia. And the symptoms are very mild and difficult to diagnose. See our previous post to see the inspiring story of Adam, one of our own.
Please help the crew to reach their target.
Any amount is so appreciated.

A busy afternoon for the crew from Tarro who are providing fire protection as the helicopter support team performing Hot Refuelling at Mallabula. En route the crew was called upon for property protection as the situation changes with the wind.
#PreparedForAnything

Easy way to check if your car is affected.

When you see us slow down 40km limits will be enforced from 1st September.

The crew had a great morning with the kids at Somerset Early Learning Centre. Speaking about fire safety and letting the kids have some fun with the hose. (Remember if you would like us to attend your school or event please contact us)

With this ongoing cold we are asking residents to check their electric blankets before use.

Very cold for the fire fighters in Uralla this morning at a House fire in queen st.

With it cooling down overnight, Please remember the following.

Electric blankets
Electric blankets are a potential fire hazard if not used and stored correctly.
Do not leave electric blankets turned on during the day, as objects such as clothes, pets, bedding or other heavy objects can cause overheating and fires.
... Electric blankets should be turned on half an hour before going to bed and then turned off when getting into bed.
If you remove your electric blanket during the summer months, ensure that it is stored correctly. Electric blankets should be rolled not folded. Alternatively, leave the blanket on the bed, as it will remain flat.
Face the facts
Follow these tips to reduce the risk of a fire in your home:
Inspect the electric blanket for discolouration caused by overheating or wear and tear before use (brown spots may indicate the blanket is overheating).
Make sure the controls are not twisted or caught between the mattress and the bed base.
Never sleep with the electric blanket on.
Electric blankets are not recommended for use where bed wetting may occur.
Be especially diligent when children are using electric blankets.
Do not wrap the electric blanket around yourself.
