Sydney’s annual New Years Eve fireworks spectacular will go ahead tonight.

Millions of revellers will flock to watch the sky above Sydney Harbour light up at midnight, with the City Of Sydney granted an exemption from today’s total fire ban by the NSW Rural Fire Service.

Other nearby areas haven’t been so lucky. 10 regions across New South Wales and the ACT have been hit with total fire bans today courtesy of the hot & dry conditions, leading the annual NYE fireworks displays in nearby Parramatta, Liverpool, Wollongong, Campbelltown, Rowland Reserve, Bayview on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Maitland (near Newcastle), Canberra and more to get the axe.

“Council was not granted an exemption to proceed with its fireworks display due to the total fire ban in place and a range of associated risks including: extreme temperatures; smoke, dust and poor air quality; extremely dry conditions at Parramatta Park; and limited resources to manage potential fires locally due to fires across the state,” Parramatta’s Lord Mayor Bob Dwyer said.

“In addition, the Bureau of Meteorology has forecast high winds with a southerly change on New Year’s Eve, which pose too big a risk to the health and safety of our community.”

He added that the difficult decision was made in consultation with the RFS, the weather bureau and other state government agencies.

“Council is making a $10,000 donation to the NSW Rural Fire Service to support their fantastic work. I encourage members of our community to do what they can to support our state’s firefighters at this challenging time,” he said.

Elsewhere, following consultation with ticket holders (via poll) and the event stakeholders, Sydney’s NYE in the Park has also cancelled its midnight fireworks display in 2019.

“Furthermore, the festival will be pledging the financial resources from the fireworks cancellation to the NSW Rural Fire Service in support their continued heroic efforts in keeping us all safe,” organisers said in a statement.

It comes after NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro yesterday broke ranks with the state government and called for the Sydney fireworks to be binned as well.

“The risk is too high and we must respect our exhausted RFS volunteers. If regional areas have had fireworks banned, then let’s not have two classes of citizens. We’re all in this crisis together,” he tweeted.

It flew in the face of Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s stance, which was that the fireworks were a show of resilience in the face of the bushfires.

Meanwhile, City of Sydney Mayor Clover Moore said her council would be using the “huge reach” of Sydney’s NYE celebrations to raise money for those affected by the disaster.

Due to today’s total fire bans, operators hoping to set off fireworks need to apply for an official exemption.

You can check your local council’s social media for updates.

Very High to Extreme fire danger is forecast across parts NSW tomorrow , 11 areas have been declared under Total Fire Ban. Operators wishing to undertake fireworks displays in an area where a Total Fire Ban has been declared MUST apply for an exemption (https://t.co/Ws3U9yvKld) pic.twitter.com/7meX0zAaiV

10 things you need to know today: December 31, 2017 1. Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who is charged with making false statements to federal agents and impeding the probe into alleged Trump team involvement in Russian election meddling, may have unwittingly launched the entire Russia investigation during "a night of heavy drinking," The New York Times reported Saturday. Papadopoulos was in London in May of 2016, the Times report says, where he confided in Alexander Downer, the Australian high commissioner to the United Kingdom, that he knew Moscow had damaging information — specifically, leaked emails — on then-candidate Hillary Clinton. When leaked Clinton campaign emails surfaced two months later, Australian officials informed U.S. diplomats of Papadopoulos' comments, possibly serving as the basis of the probe. 2. A third day of anti-government protests in Iran on Sunday saw demonstrators chanting "death to the dictator" and "death to Khamenei," the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, despite the government's warning that they will face an "iron fist" of punishment if unrest continues. The rallies began over state corruption and economic troubles but have now taken a more expansive turn. "Everyone is fed up with the situation, from the young to the old," one protester told The Guardian . President Trump again weighed in on Twitter Sunday, saying Iranians "are finally getting wise as to how their money [is]squandered on terrorism" and that the U.S. is "watching very closely for human rights violations!" 3. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his hopes for better U.S.-Russia relations in his annual letter to the White House, sent by telegram, timed for New Year's Eve. The note to President Trump emphasizes Putin's desire for "pragmatic cooperation" between Moscow and Washington on the basis of "equality and mutual respect." A "constructive Russian-American dialogue is especially needed to strengthen strategic stability in the world," Putin said. He also wrote to other world leaders, including France's Emmanuel Macron, Syria's Bashar al-Assad, and China's Xi Jinping. 4. The U.S. military will begin accepting openly transgender recruits beginning Monday, Jan. 1, after the Trump Department of Justice dropped its legal challenge to multiple court rulings against President Trump's surprise announcement on Twitter this past July that he would "not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity." Trump's tweets cited "tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail" and reversed an Obama-era schedule for recruitment. A Pentagon representative said the new policy will proceed as "mandated by court order" and that all "applicants must meet all accession standards." 5. Police in California have arrested a Los Angeles man, Tyler Barriss, in connection to the prank 911 call that brought a SWAT team to the Kansas home of an unarmed father of two, Andrew Finch, who was killed Thursday when one of the officers opened fire after Finch opened his front door. Barriss is held without bond and will not appear in court until Tuesday at the earliest. It is not yet known what charges may be filed against him or whether he is believed to be the hoax caller. There is no specific federal law against swatting, but CNN legal analyst Paul Callan said federal authorities might choose charges of reckless homicide. 6. Criminal justice reform advocate Erica Garner died Saturday, leaving behind two young children. She was 27. Garner became a civil rights activist following the 2014 killing of her father, Eric Garner, at the hands of New York City police officers. His chokehold death was caught on camera, and his plea of "I can't breathe" became a rallying cry against police brutality. Erica Garner suffered two heart attacks this fall, the second of which left her in a medically induced coma on Christmas Eve. "She cared when most people wouldn't have," said a statement tweeted by her family. "She was good. She only pursued right, no matter what. No one gave her justice." 7. South Korea on Sunday indicated it has seized a second ship believed to be selling oil to North Korea in violation of United Nations sanctions. The capture of the first vessel, registered in Hong Kong, was announced Friday. The second ship is reportedly based in Panama and was seized earlier this month, though South Korean officials declined to provide many details for security reasons. Russian tankers have also been caught transferring oil to North Korea at sea to avoid detection, Reuters reported Friday, though they are believed to be acting without Moscow's support. 8. New York City authorities on Saturday identified the final seven of 12 victims of Thursday's deadly fire in the Bronx. The youngest victim was just seven months old, and four other victims were either pre-schoolers or teenagers. The blaze was started by a 3-year-old in a first floor apartment with a habit of playing with the burners on a gas stove, and the fire department said it spread upward through the building "like a chimney," trapping people located on higher floors. 9. All six people aboard a seaplane were killed Sunday when it crashed into a river near Sydney, Australia. Search and rescue efforts located the plane and all six bodies, five passengers and the pilot, within a few hours, but the victims have yet to be identified. "The sequence of events leading up to the accident are not yet understood, however following the impact with the water, the aircraft is reported to have sunk rapidly," said a statement from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. The plane will not be retrieved until Monday. 10. Most of the U.S. mainland is facing a deep freeze for New Year's Eve as arctic air brings record-low temperatures nearly everywhere but the Southwest. At least two people have died from causes related to the cold snap, and sharks killed by cold shock have begun washing up in New England. Many New Year's Eve celebrations have been canceled in favor of warnings about frostbite and hypothermia, but about 1 million people are still expected to spend hours outside for New York City's New Year bash, despite a forecast of 11 degrees with a wind chill of zero.

What Are Annual Fire Statements, and Why Do They Matter?

What Are Annual Fire Statements, and Why Do They Matter?

Introduction: In all fire safety services Sydney, inspection and validation with a fire safety certificate matter at all levels of modern construction. The annual fire safety statement (AFSS) requires accredited personnel to assess, test, and validate all fire safety schedule standard requirements. As a matter of fact, fire tragedies are largely due to overlooking some of these basic safety norms in standard modern construction. However, there are also requirements for a supplementary fire safety statement that is more regular to certify and validate fire safety readiness. An annual fire statement is required every year, with several clauses and specifics to be clarified. These include:   

What Is Composed in an Annual Fire Safety Statement?

A comprehensive summary of all required fire safety measures and equipment in perfect working condition. With the fire protection services Sydney, there are several layers of requirements and compositions to an AFSS as stated below:   

(a). automatic fire sprinklers

(b). emergency warning alarms and systems

(c). fire detection and alarm systems

(d). fire hydrant systems and landing valves

(e). fire hoses and pump sets

(f). portable and wheeled fire extinguishers

(g). water storage systems for firefighting equipment

(h). Special firefighting gear (suits, smoke masks, and blankets).

(i). Intercoms, emergency exits, warning systems, passive fire and smoke systems

(j). Hinged, pivoted, and sliding fire doors

According to each local council's fire safety statutes and laws, there are numerous additional requirements.

Why does an AFSS Matter?

Every year, many avoidable tragic losses of property and life occur. Australia has had a long history with bush fires and building fires in some locations. The AFSS is a legal certification by the local council that the building is safe. An AFSS is submitted by the building owner through a certified fire safety practitioner (FSF). It proves and validates that the practitioner has evaluated all critical fire safety measures of the building and confirms the assessments meet standard council requirements. Besides, it also validates:

(a). Standard fire safety compliance law. Local councils in each territory validate and certify the fire safety assessment standard performed by a registered fire safety practitioner.

(b). It proves substantially that fire safety for buildings and occupants high at all times. A fire safety certificate is a round of endorsement that proves that commercial building owners are mindful of their obligations and responsibilities.

(c). It fulfils all aspects of fire safety and legal obligations incumbent upon property owners. Most new commercial building owners have their licences easily renewed on the basis of a comprehensive fire safety report.

(d). It can forestall or prevent unfortunate fire incidents and accidents. Usually small short circuits, leakage in gas pipelines or other smoke sources can cause major fires. foolproof and ready-to-use fire safety equipment may reduce or prevent the extent of damage.

(e). A certificate of fire safety approval is a standard and binding legal document. This means it is not an option rather necessary to possess for building owners. There are serious repercussions for non-compliance.

Summary: With the accredited practitioner in fire protection services Sydney, fire safety helps keep, observe, and follow all relevant and statutory building code and local law regulations. In all states, non-compliance to safety rules may result to a harsh lawsuit or withdrawal / canceling of building license.

And Kevin Spacey apologized after he was accused of sexually accosting a 14-year-old actor 31 years ago, but came under fire for using the same statement to come out as gay.

We begin Halloween with a ghost story.

Stingy Jack invited the devil for a drink.

As Irish folklore goes, Jack didn’t want to pay for the drinks, and instead convinced the devil to turn himself into a coin that could be used to settle the tab.

Continue reading the main story

The devil agreed, but Jack ditched the tab and kept the coin. When he finally died, Stingy Jack was denied entry to both heaven and hell and instead was given a burning coal to light his way as he roamed the earth for eternity. He placed the coal in a carved-out turnip, turning it into a lantern.

Stingy Jack became known as “Jack of the Lantern,” or Jack-o’-Lantern, by the late 17th century. Elsewhere in Europe, making lanterns out of potatoes and beets was part of a fall harvest celebration. Lights were also thought to ward off evil spirits.

By the end of the 19th century, European immigrants in America switched their carving tradition over to pumpkins.

“The fortunate pumpkin is a noble fruit, a joy in the mouth of mankind, a paean of Autumn on the happy palate,” a 1942 Times article proclaimed. “The unfortunate pumpkin becomes a jack-o’-lantern.”
