The Stoney Creek Rural Fire
Brigade is a Volunteer brigade of the NSW
Rural Fire Service.
The
Brigade Stoney Creek Brigade is one of over 20 Volunteer Rural
Fire Brigades in the Lake George Zone of the NSW Rural Fire Service. This
Zone incorporates brigades from Queanbeyan City Council and the Palerang
Shire. Our neighbouring rural Brigades are Captains
Flat, Hoskinstown-Rossi, Ridgeway, Queanbeyan,
Burra and Bungendore.
Where are we? Stoney Creek operates out of the fire
station attached to the Community Hall at Gathering Place, off Douglas Close,
approximately 10km down Captains Flat Road from Queanbeyan.
What
do we do? The Brigades have a number of roles to play (look here).
We fight fires, attend motor vehicle accidents, run fire awareness courses
and help out with local community activities. We also provide support
to areas outside the district when called upon.
It takes lots of different skills to keep the Brigade working at its
peak. We have Field Officers who put in a lot of time as part of their
role in acquiring and maintaining equipment, preparing training for the
Brigade and the Community, and making sure the day to day operation of
the brigade runs smoothly. We are all volunteers, and
do not get paid for the time we put in to the Brigade.
We
also owe a huge vote of thanks to the family members of our fire fighters
who support the ongoing activities of the Brigade and give up time with
their partner, child, parent… We also thank the employers who release
people from work to respond to emergencies.
Interested in Joining? If you wish to join the Brigade
please contact the Captain or
a Deputy Captain, (phone numbers are in the Stoney
Creek Gazette) or come to a meeting or training session at the Community
Hall.
