The Basic Fire-fighting Training Course run by the RFS is only three or
four evenings and one weekend, and it’s all free! You can learn First Aid
or Off -Road Four Wheel Driving as well. Your new skills could save your family’s
lives. If you are over 16 you are welcome to join us.
Our brigade also runs
regular short training sessions to keep existing members
up-to-speed with equipment. Topics covered include operating pumps and
hoses, fire-truck and equipment familiarisation, structural fires, first
aid and radio communications. We discuss recent fires we attended,
prepare for hazard reductions, plan community education, maintain
equipment and of course, socialise.
Darrell shows us how there
is more oxygen close to the nozzle in case you are caught in
thick smoke.
