This instruction rescinds In Orders 2004/2, Passing through toll gates.
This instruction applies to all drivers of NSWFB vehicles. Drivers are responsible for ensuring that they use tollways in accordance with this instruction.
From 1 July 2005 all non-marked NSWFB vehicles will be fitted with E tags and all fully marked vehicles will be fitted with the NSWFB logo near the rear number plate.
Non-marked vehicles are the NSWFB trucks and cars that are not readily identifiable as response vehicles such as pool cars and general purpose trucks which are not red/maroon or fitted with external flashing lights.
Fully marked vehicles are appliances and red/maroon minor fleet vehicles which are fitted with external flashing lights.
A fully marked NSWFB vehicle driven by a uniformed employee and responding to a call under lights and sirens is exempt from paying any toll.
The driver may use any lane that gives the fastest and clearest access through the toll collection point.
At tollways with manual collection points, fully marked NSWFB vehicles with lights and sirens are exempt from paying the toll provided they use the manual collection lane.
NSWFB vehicles fitted with E Tags must use the E Tag facility, not the manual collection lane.
Note : drivers who do not comply with the above requirements will be issued with an infringement notice which will be the responsibility of the driver.
Unless responding under lights and sirens, at tollways where there is no manual toll facility ( eg the Cross City Tunnel ) only:
NSWFB fully marked vehicles with a NSWFB logo fitted near the rear number plate and driven by a uniformed employee, and
NSWFB vehicles fitted with E Tags
can use the tollway.
Note : drivers who use a fully automated tollway and do not comply with the above requirements will be issued with an infringement notice which will be the responsibility of the driver.
NSWFB vehicles that do not comply with the above requirements will be issued with an RTA Infringement Notice. These notices will be handled in the same way as Corporate Penalty Notices for driving offences and the offending driver will be required to accept personal responsibility for the infringement notice.
If you use a manual collection lane on a tollway and:
are accepted as exempt by the toll collector, or
pay the toll
no information about the vehicle is recorded by the tollway operator.
If you use an automatic lane, the tollway operator records the following information:
time
date
toll lane
direction of travel
number plate
size
weight
details of anything being towed
details of anything being carried on the roof
This information is passed on to the RTA and the NSWFB. The NSWFB and the RTA conduct monthly audits of tollway use to ensure use is for official purposes only.
The NSWFB will only accept responsibility for toll charges for private use of NSWFB vehicles when the use complies with In Orders 2001/21 Private use of vehicles . Otherwise, toll charges and infringement notices will be the responsibility of the driver.
Note: when private use of a NSWFB vehicle has been approved under section 7 of the Private use of vehicles policy for travel to and from work, the vehicle must not be used for any other private travel.

The NSWFB will shortly be compiling and producing incident activity statistics for the NSWFB accountability performance reporting requirements, including the NSWFB Annual Report to Parliament and the Productivity Commission's Report on Government Services .
The NSWFB Annual Report includes statistics on responses by each fire station. This information is compiled from the AIRS reports submitted by stations, and indicates to Government and the community each station's workload and its performance.
To make sure that your station's responses are correctly reported in the Annual Report , AIRS Incident Reports for all incidents up to 30 June 2005 should be entered on computer by 29 July 2005. Brigades are required to complete all outstanding reports and send' them back to the central database.
Reports submitted after 29 July 2005 cannot be included in the 2004/05 Annual Report. Any station with AIRS reports not submitted by then will be shown as having attended fewer than its actual number of calls.
