The Static Water Supply ( SWS ) Program is a free service that enables residents to help local firefighters by identifying existing water supplies ( such as dams , tanks or swimming pools ) on their property that could be used for firefighting purposes .
The NSW Rural Fire Service provides specially designed SWS signs for properties with suitable water supplies . This helps firefighters access vital water supplies quickly and efficiently to help them defend your property . Examples of suitable water supplies include :
A property dam which can be used to refill fire tankers and firefighting aircraft such as helicopters which support our firefighters on the ground .
A backyard swimming pool , which provides an ideal static water supply for small portable pumps and hose lines to help protect your home .
A tank , which with appropriate fittings can also be used to quickly supply water for firefighting
If you have a pool , tank or dam with more than 3,000 litre capacity and wish to be part of the SWS Program , please contact your local Fire Control Centre or email community . engagement @ rfs . nsw . gov . au , with your name , phone number , address , postcode , local government area .
