NSW RFS – Scotland Island Brigade (Northern Beaches)

Scotland Island Brigade
Warringah – Pittwater District
Region East
Established: 1955

Scotland Island is located in Pittwater, just off Church Point in Sydney’s Northern Beaches area. The island is about 1km across, and can only be accessed by boat, either a ferry from Church Point or on private vessels. The island is a mixture of residential and bushland areas.

Due to this isolated nature, the Brigade fulfils more than just a typical Rural Fire Brigade role. In conjuntion with NSW Ambulance Service, the brigade provide a Community First Responder service for medical emergencies. Members are trained to a higher level than the typical first aid training and provide initial medical response, either transporting patients to awaiting road Ambulance or until Paramedics can attend the scene.

The brigade are equipped with a mix of equipment in addition to a standard fire tanker. The brigade run a Category 7 (medium) tanker, Category 9 (light) appliance, Personnel carrier and a boat. They also have a large cache of portable pumps, extra hoses and other handy equipment to fight fires around the island.

Being one of the few brigades equipped with a boat and ancillary equipment in the area, they are often called upon to assist with fires on and around the entire Pittwater and surrounding waterways.

Scotland Island brigade was formed in 1955 by local residents, with their current Fire Station built in 1991.

Sutherland District
Region East

Website: http://www.woronorafire.org.au/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WoronoraBushFireBrigade

Formed 23rd of April 1967. In typical fashion, early meetings of the brigade were held at members’ properties. The brigade moved to its current location in September 1976. The brigade is a water based brigade, operating 3 fire boats and a Land Rover Personnel Carrier capable of towing the vessels to other waterways.
In 2011, major upgrades to the station were completed which include the addition of a 3-berth floating station where the brigade’s fireboats are stored on floating pontoons, and additions to the land section of the station to improve training and welfare areas.

The brigade’s website contains some great photos and information about the running and history of the brigade.
