Take a minute and change your batteries. Smoke alarms are a sound you can live with.

Tick tock, tick tock, it’s almost time to change your clock. Beep, beep, a smoke alarm will wake you from your sleep. Having a working smoke alarm, reduces the risk of you coming to harm. Help a neighbour if they can’t reach theirs, fire safety tips you should share.

TOTAL FIRE BAN | Due to forecast hot temps & strong winds a total fire ban is in force across Illawarra/Shoalhaven from midnight. How fireproof is your plan? Visit https://t.co/881IaZLgFO @Wollongong_City @ShellharbourCC @KiamaCouncil @269FRNSW @FRNSW474 @nswpolice #nswfires

The new @NSWRFS commercial is confronting and eerily realistic. Ahead of what could be another deadly season authorities are making no apologies for the graphic ad. Lorraine Bradley still struggles to look at flames 16 years after her home was decimated by the Engadine bushfire.

A new road rule applies from today. When you see red and blue flashing lights on an emergency vehicle stopped on the road, slow down to 40km/h. We're looking out for you, are you looking out for us? #nswrfs

The @BOM_NSW have today issued updated Seasonal Outlooks for next 3 months. Hotter and drier than normal conditions expected to continue. Not good for drought or fire season #NSWRFS
