20.01.2022 Last night we hosted a training session for the Bunbury Bushfire Cadets, as we do each year. We took them through the roles we play within the community and what our capabilities are as a Fire and Rescue brigade. The cadets then learnt some new and unique practical skills in road crash rescue using the variety of tools we carry, including the hydraulic spreaders and cutters, finishing up with a full roof removal of a vehicle. ... We also mixed things up a bit and set up the ground monitor for all the cadets to operate and experience what 4000 litres per minute looks like!

19.01.2022 This weeks training Last night we took to the heart of Bunbury to train with a very unique piece of equipment. With the help of over 300 meters of hose our country pump successfully delivered a whopping two thousand litres per minute at 7 bar to a Hi-Flow water/foam monitor, which we had situated at the very top of the lighthouse hill. The monitor is housed on a bulk foam trailer that holds 1000litres of B class foam, this trailer is equipped to be used at large compl...ex Fires where foam is required. The drill provided all members of the brigade with a great opportunity to learn a new skill as well as further refine basic hose work and pump operations. PS - Next drill we hope the wind is a little more in our favor. Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA Volunteer Fire & Rescue Services Association of WA Inc City of Bunbury

This information is updated regularly, however emergencies can escalate quickly and the Incident Area may not show the full extent of the incident. Please remember: Incident areas are not active fire shapes or fire maps and you should always check the date and time listed on the incident area. Our official warnings are the verified information from the Incident Controller that you should use to help guide your decision-making.
