06.01.2022 Four of our team headed to the training grounds today to hone their offensive structural firefighting skills as well as consolidating their skill sets on the latest best practices for structure fires within our community. It allowed us to work alongside Member’s from Medowie Rural Fire Brigade and Mulbring Rural Fire Brigade, fostering inter brigade relationships with teams that we may be called upon to work with. Today also provided a great learning opportunity for two add...ition crew members to come along and provide support and get an insight in to the skills required for the next phase of their firefighting journey. Huge shout out to all the instructors, safety crew and support crew that came along and made today possible.
