Story

Ingleside Rural Fire Brigade members volunteer their time as part of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service to assist in protection of the communities of the Northern Beaches Local Government Area of Sydney.

We assist with Bush Fire Suppression and Prevention, Vehicle accidents and fires, Structural Fires and other operational incidents and to provide Bush Fire Education and Awareness to our community.

We respond to a variety of situations and generally respond to 90-100 operational incidents including Bush/Grass Fires, Structure Fires, Vehicles Accidents, Vehicle Fires, Horse Rescues, Storm Damage, Automatic Fire Alarm Calls mostly within the Ingleside area. We also assist other brigades throughout the state with incidents from flooding to major bush fires.

Ingleside also assists with other emergency services like New South Wales (NSW) Police Force, Ambulance Service NSW, Fire Rescue NSW and the State Emergency Service.

Our Fire-fighting vehicles include:
Two Isuzu 3400 Litre - 4X4 Tankers
One Toyota Hilux 4x4 Dual Cab Ute

Ingleside offers assistance for events such as market days, fire awareness week, community displays and community education. In September, 2014 Ingleside came 3rd overall in the NSW Rural Fire Service - State Fire-fighting Championships held at Pambula, NSW.

As a volunteer you initially complete a comprehensive nationally recognised Bush Fire Fighters course which allows you to become a member of our Brigade and attend operational incidents. As with all Rural Fire Brigades, Ingleside members are regularly called out by pager to assist with incidents 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

Currently at Ingleside, all fire-fighting members are required to complete one duty day per month (8hrs) and commit to every second training and meeting nights, which occur once per month.
