Fire and Rescue NSW once again shimmied and sparkled in the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade, proudly showcasing our commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment for our people and the community we serve. This year, we also shared important information about the emerging risk of Lithium-Ion batteries with a large, engaged crowd (it's the only time we'll allow a lithium-ion battery to sparkle)! The 2025 Mardi Gras theme, “Free to Be,” perfectly reflects our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and the importance of empowering and supporting people to be themselves. Since 2016, the Fire and Rescue Inclusion Network for LGBTQIA+ Employees (FRINGE) has been central to this mission, providing a vital support network and collaborating with leadership to foster an inclusive culture. We're proud to stand alongside our LGBTQIA+ community, protect progress, and continue working toward a future where we are all truly free to be. #FRNSWPride #SydneyMardiGras2025

We have officially launched the first-ever, FRNSW Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), marking a pivotal step in our commitment to reconciliation. We marked this significant milestone with a Smoking Ceremony, on the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations. The development of our RAP has been a thorough and thoughtful process; through interactive workshops, our people contributed to the development, vision, and action plan for reconciliation at FRNSW. We are at the beginning of our journey towards reconciliation and our RAP reflects this. Importantly, our RAP is our public commitment to work on practical activities and opportunities that make a real difference and improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities both within New South Wales, and within FRNSW. Reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility, and through our sphere of influence, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment and promoting a future of mutual respect and equality. The creation of the RAP would not have been possible without the RAP working group, Jason Timor from Stonecrab, Rhiannon Dotti, our Senior Aboriginal Organisational Development Advisor, and our First Nations staff, whose contributions, stories, and cultural knowledge continue to shape our organisation and the communities we serve.

Today, we celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science, recognising the incredible contributions of women who are shaping the future of science, technology, and innovation. One standout example of this is FRNSW's very own, Rylee Lam PhD, Senior Research Coordinator for Fire Safety Policy. Rylee’s groundbreaking work in digital contemporaneous notetaking has revolutionised field investigations by replacing traditional paper-based documentation with an efficient, app-based system. Her innovation has not only streamlined manual processes but also enhanced the way we track and analyse fire trends, product failures, and emerging risks. Currently, Rylee is researching the safety of emerging technologies, with a particular focus on the battery industry. Through collaborations with universities, peak bodies, and industry stakeholders, she’s working to better understand the risks posed by lithium-ion battery devices and the necessary safety measures to protect both consumers and firefighters. Today in particular we celebrate Rylee and the many women like her who are leading and contributing within science, technology, and safety innovation spaces. Their contributions continue to drive positive change for our industry and communities alike. #WomenInScience #IntDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #FireInvestigation #FireResearch #LithiumIonBatteries

In 2025, NSW has already seen 25 lithium-ion battery fires—13 of those just last week. Our crews responded to four incidents within 12 hours, highlighting a growing concern. A recent NSW Government survey revealed significant community complacency about the risks of lithium-ion battery use. In response, Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell AFSM is urging all NSW residents to follow the advice of the "Shop, Charge and Recycle Safely" campaign. Here’s how you can help reduce the risk of fires: ✅Install a working smoke alarm in rooms where batteries are charged. ✅Stay nearby when charging devices ❌Don't use damaged batteries ❌Never modify a lithium-ion battery Stay informed and learn more about safe shopping, charging, and recycling: https://lnkd.in/geHiskjk
