What do you do when floodwaters get in the way of your HSC exams? You get a lift on one of the #NSWRFS boats of course! The Wisemans Ferry Brigade gave local resident Laicey a lift into town so she wouldn’t miss her exams. Good luck to all Year 12 students starting their exams.

What a quacker of a story! Over the weekend, #NSWRFS members from the Basin View Brigade were called to assist three small ducklings stuck in a storm drain. After playing a quick game of hide-and-beak with our firefighters, they were safely reunited with their mum. 🦆

Shout out to #NSWRFS Yarragong Brigade, who were on hand to safely deliver four Bedgerabong Public School teachers past floodwaters for the first day of Term 4. Even Brigade Captain Andrew Barnard’s dogs came to wish them a great first day back! 📸: Insp Mick Robinson
