NSW RFS - Snowy Monaro District
The Snowy Monaro District comprises of 33 rural fire brigades providing fire and emergency response to the Snowy Monaro Local Government Area.
As we move into the colder months, fire agencies often see an increase in house fires as residents use their fireplaces and heaters to stay warm. With temperatures dropping and possible snow forecast across parts of the state in the coming days, it’s important you know how to stay safe.
Remember, you won’t smell smoke while you’re asleep, so make sure your bleeping smoke alarms are working. A working smoke alarm can save your life and give you and your family valuable time to escape a burning home.

If you see RFS Helitack 206 in the Coornartha Nature Reserve (Numeralla Road- Rose Valley Road) area this afternoon, don't be alarmed, as it is only a training exercise for some of our firefighting personnel maintaining their winching accreditations.
Ongoing practise is essential in maintaining these specialist skills and accreditations.
