Rural Fire Service or RFS

This page is dedicated to the ladies and gents of our local RFS units. These people give up many hours to protect our properties and bushland. They are often called upon to be away from their families at the most important times such as Christmas. The Rural Fire Service has gone through many changes over the past few years, they now have better vehicles and the volunteers have a lot more training to undertake. We would like to thank them for their service to the community.


In our area, the RFS uses both GRN and standard frequencies for their communications; The GRN talk groups are below, with standard frequencies being further down the page.

It appears that the northern section of The Lakes; (ie, the Lake Macquarie section) has moved across to the PMR network and off GRN. The GRN allocation has been quiet all weekend.
