Group Officer John Reed is taking a number of Monaro Team firefighters through the theoretical components of the Advanced Firefighter course today.
A good day to be inside with wind gusts around 80kph in Cooma. The trainees won't be spared tomorrow though, with practical training on the cards in very windy conditions.
We can't thank the trainers and trainees enough for giving up their weekend to get better at what they do, which in turn provides better service to the community.
I Have Completed this Course, And Found it Truly Rewarding, With the Knowledge, That sharpens Your awareness on the fire ground. Village Fire fighting is also a available part of Fire Fighting that I truly Recommend, That on Completion Gives you that edge in confidence to Carry out The Task with Safety to yourself and Crew. I Truly Praise The Passion Of the Instructor to Pass on their Knowledge to those who wish to Build their Knowledge. To Carry out their Tasks on the Fire ground with Confidence. Looking forward to VF Crew Leaders course.

Fire Danger Ratings are determined based on many factors. One of the factors considered is wind.
We've got strong winds forecast across the Monaro today, with winds already exceeding forecast conditions.
We urge everyone to avoid using fire or performing any hot works outside today. Burning, welding, grinding, slashing, etc.
If you see an unattended fire, please call 000 immediately.
Was speaking to my father that we haven't had one extreme/catastrophic day. I thought those 40+ days would have been

Temperatures are forecast to be around 30 degrees, Relative Humidity down to 25% with winds around 35 kph gusting to 55 kph.
Significant periods of no rain have left our landscape extremely dry. While there is no longer a requirement for permits, we request that everyone delay any burning or hot works they had planned at least until the weekend when conditions are predicted to improve.
The weather we are experiencing at the moment is more like January/Feburary conditions and all care needs to be exercised.

NSW Rural Fire Service
There is more unseasonable warm weather on the way. This will likely see fire dangers increase over coming days. It is essential that you contact your local fire control centre or fire rescue station before undertaking any hazard reduction or agricultural burns. It may be that you are requested to postpone these burns until the weather improves.
UPDATE 1558hrs: Jindabyne Fire Rescue will be departing scene shortly, followed by Jindabyne Rural Fire Brigade not long after. The fire burnt around 1/4 acre, and certainly could have been worse if not for the fast mutual response and on scene cooperation of both Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW Rural Fire Service crews. Great work by all involved.
----------
UPDATE 1441hrs: Jindabyne 2 and Jindabyne Fire Rescue Pump 338 on scene and they have the fire under control. A few trees are alight and smoke will be visible in the area for some time yet. Please avoid the area while firefighters move about and work in the area.
----------
Jindabyne Fire & Rescue NSW and Jindabyne and Ingebyra Rural Fire Brigades are responding to reports of a fire in the vicinity of Old Settlers Road off The Snowy River Way, 5 km from the Barry Way intersection, 7 km south east of Jindabyne,
Thank you to all of you who came out. I’m very thankful it didn’t get to my house.
