Rivvy enjoyed his first deployment with Mt Riverview RFB on the Six Foot track Marathon on Saturday 11th March. He spent the day keeping watch for runners and welcoming those who stopped to hydrate!
Members from Mt Riverview have joined other Blue Mountains members to help fight the Alpha Road fire in the State’s Central West.
We are thinking of the communities who have been affected by the recent fires.
Our trucks have remained in Mt Riv to respond to any local incidents.
Thanks for your commitment to keeping our communities safe and giving your time to protect people and property.
Praying for your safety
Smoke plumes from the Rainbow Hazard Reduction in Ropes Crossing can be seen from Mount Riverview.
The Hazards Near Me app is a great way to identify incidents which may be occurring in your local area.
Please only call 000 if you see an unattended fire.
The Mid-Western and Bathurst LGAs are experiencing a number of fires, including the fire at Alpha Rd Tambaroora.
A Blue Mountains Strike Team was deployed for assistance and residents can expect to see more fire trucks crossing the mountains in the coming days.
There are no fires in the Blue Mountains LGA at this time.
This weekend marks the First Saturday of the Season - an initiative from the NRMA to help make neighbourhoods safer and reduce the number of times first responders need to be called.

We are excited to announce that our Panther mascot now officially has a name!
We present to you… Rivvy!!
We had some really creative suggestions and we thank all those who submitted names.
Keep an eye out for Rivvy as he joins us on our travels!
Good name.
A huge thank you to everyone who donated on our Christmas Santa Run.
The support from the community was overwhelming and we were honoured to make this donation of the funds we collected to Food Bank recently.
Well done!!!
Smoke from this hazard reduction may be visible throughout the weekend.
Please only call Triple Zero if you see an unattended fire.Firefighters will be taking advantage of cooler conditions this evening to undertake a hazard reduction burn near Smeeton Rd and Londonderry Rd, Londonderry. (Penrith LGA).
Smoke from the burn is likely to settle in areas close to the burn however may also impact a broader area of western Sydney overnight. This smoke is forecast to clear tomorrow as the day warms up.
Please only call Triple Zero if you see an unattended fire, not just because you can see or smell smoke.
For more information, including a list and map of planned burns visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/HR
Did you know that the Fires Near Me app will now be known as 'Hazards Near Me' and will include flood information and warnings from the NSW SES?
Hazards Near Me compliments the suite of information tools already available to the public, including the RFS website, 1800 Bush Fire Information Line and social media channels. Over time, more hazards and additional features will be added to the app.
If you already have Fires Near Me on your phone, you can update it through your App Store or Google Play. If you don’t have Fires Near Me, just search for ‘Hazards Near Me’ in your app store.
Does anyone remember this? It’s been hanging up in one of our vehicle bays for a long time and there was no question about us keeping it to mount again after the station upgrade.
We love reading the comments made by so many residents over 20 years ago and would love to hear from anyone who remembers writing on this!
