Crews from 216 Bathurst, 284 Delroy, 312 Gulgong and 387 Mudgee, soon to be joined by crews from 208 Aberdeen currently staged at 387 Mudgee as part of Strike Team Zulu for the Wuuluman Bush Fire. #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller #nswrfs #volunteerfirefighter @chief_miller @nswrfs @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Fire and Rescue NSW 387 Mudgee)

The days of working in this station will soon enough be a moment in history. 2017 represents the last year we'll work out of this historic, heritage fire station, in one of the most historic towns in country New South Wales. While it'll be sad to leave behind the history of a fire station out of which many firefighters have worked over the years, the bigger, newer, more technologically advanced station with dual bays, training areas and increased storage and facilities will further enable us to provide leading edge fire and rescue services to our local communities, in an industry that's constantly changing. #gulgong #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller #firestation #history #firehouse @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Fire & Rescue NSW Station 312 Gulgong)

Another shot of Pump 312 getting refilled at our New Year's Eve fire. Always a pleasure working with our comrades from the NSW Rural Fire Service. #gulgong #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller #rfs #nswrfs #volunteerfirefighter @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Gulgong, New South Wales)

One of our good friends from the NSW Rural Fire Service, Kamran Malik, blacking out at a recent fire.

Pump 312 Gulgong being refilled by the impressive heavy firefighting appliance from the NSW Rural Fire Service earlier today, which carries 9000 litres (2400 gallons) of water. #gulgong #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller #rfs #nswrfs #volunteerfirefighter @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Gulgong, New South Wales)

Pump 312 Gulgong out on a job earlier in 2016, and what a great year it has been! #gulgong #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Gulgong, New South Wales)

A few Christmas Eve jobs for the crew at 312 today. Hopefully that'll be all. Stay safe everybody, and for all of you who celebrate it, we wish you a very Merry Christmas, filled with lots of laughter, love and happiness. #gulgong #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller #christmas #xmas #merryxmas #mudgeeguardian @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Gulgong, New South Wales)

HAZMAT Tanker 387 Mudgee staged at a protracted HAZMAT incident some months ago, about 30km north east of Gulgong. Support vehicles like this provide specific resources and expertise for jobs that don't just require the run of the mill gear and equipment carried on pumps. We're very lucky we've got this one twenty minutes down the road! #gulgong #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #hazmat #support #chiefmiller @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Fire & Rescue NSW Station 312 Gulgong)

Shortly after 11am this morning, Pump 312 Gulgong was responded to a oil spill, spanning a couple of kilometres across town, and north along Cope Road. Thanks to the assistance of HAZMAT Tanker 387 Mudgee, our good friends from the NSW Rural Fire Service (not in the picture, but just as importantly there to help), and the NSW Police Force, crews were able to render the roadway safe just after 1pm. Cheers to a great weekend, everybody! #gulgong #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #nswrfs #rfs #nswpf #police #volunteers #volunteerfirefighter #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Gulgong, New South Wales)

As another sunset graces the historic little town of Gulgong, another job goes down in the seemingly endless list of jobs our station has attended since it opened its doors in the early 1930s. It's a privilege to work in this job, and a privilege to be part of one of the best fire services in the world. My mind often boggles at the thought of how much has changed in firefighting since way back then, and wonders what some of the firefighters of that era would think if they saw it now. #gulgong #history #australia #rescuelife #mudgeeregion #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Gulgong, New South Wales)

Occasionally, but not often, there's a less serious side to this job. Just ask our Engine Keeper and firefighter, Travis McCall. After hours at a prolonged incident, it's sometimes hard not to start laughing hysterically, or joking around about all sorts of weird and bizarre things. Try a few years in emergency services, and you'll know exactly what we mean. #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller #nikontop #emergencylife @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession @firefighting_heaven (at Gulgong, New South Wales)

A huge shout out to our brothers over at 387 Mudgee, who are supporting the Pink Up Mudgee event this month, dressed in custom made Fire & Rescue NSW t-shirts. Mudgee is the first town in Australia to turn pink this month in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness and promote funding for the lifesaving nurses from the McGrath Foundation to be able to do their invaluable jobs. This year, 15,934 women and 150 men will receive the devastating news that breast cancer has come into their lives. Without these nurses, we'd be absolutely lost. @frnswmedia @mcgrathfoundation @mudgeeguardian #fire #fires #frnsw #firefighting #firefighter #firefighters #feuerwehr #feuerwehrfrau #feuerwehrmann #emergency #emergencyservices #firerescue #firerescuelife #firefightingobsession #fireXphotography #chiefmiller #breastcancer #mcgrathfoundation #pinkupmudgee @chief_miller @firexphotography @firefighting_obsession (at Fire and Rescue NSW 387 Mudgee)
