Welcome

Welcome to the Scotland Island Rural Fire Brigade web site. This site is designed to provide information to our members as well as keep the rest of the community up to date with our activities.

Scotland Island is located off Church Point in the lower end of Pittwater. We are within Sydney around 30 kms from the CBD. Our Brigade falls under the Warringah Pittwater area of the NSW Rural Fire Service.

We currently have two fire fighting engines on the Island as well as a long wheel base personnel carrier which is used for Medivacs. We service the Pittwater area and into the Hawkesbury River by boat to attend bush, structure and boat fires.

We always welcome new members, be they active fire fighting members or social members who want to assist in the support of the Brigade. Brigade meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at 7.30pm and all interested people are invited to attend.

In an EMERGENCY dial 000
and then the Fire Station if time permits -
9999 4404

Please note that a siren test is conducted on the first Saturday of each month at 10.00 am.

SIRFB AGM

All are welcome to our annual general meeting being held at the fire station at 2pm 8th March 2009.

Members can vote for executive positions and all can learn about what is happening in our brigade.

Bushfire Preparation and Survival Briefings

11am - Sunday, 22 February (brunch available) or 8pm - Wednesday, 

 at Scotland Island Fire Station

Scotland Island is in the highest bushfire-risk category in NSW.
This means a severe bushfire incident will occur - it's only a matter of when.
The best protection we all have is the collective preparation of every household in our community

Topics covered:
Bushfire preparation
Evacuation planning
Firefighting equipment and procedures
Emergency procedures

Still not sure ??
Not a fundraiser
Not a recruitment drive
Decent coffee
Biscuits if you're lucky (hey, we're volunteers!)

2009 AGM

The Annual General Meeting for the brigade will be held on Sunday 8th March at 2.30 pm at the Station.

All members are encouraged to come and be part of the election of office bearers. Membership fees will also be due on this day.

New members are also cordially invited to come and see the operation of the Brigade.

Recovery Equipment

We recently purchased some recovery equipment to be used in conjunction with the power winch
attached to our personnel carrier. The equipment was purched from ARB Ltd, who very kindly made a considerable concession in terms of purchase price, enabling us to ensure a very high quality of equipment. The brigade will continue to train using the gear, and can be called upon to help out with incidents whjere this expertise is needed.

A big thankyou to Firefighter Jonathon Swain for his efforts in organising this exceptional deal.
