Within the Brigade, as part of our own preparations for the season, all firefighters need to formally requalify to fight fires. This is an annual requirement regardless of seniority or length of service and is in the interests of the public and for the safety of our own personnel.
You may see several appliances and personnel around the area as we practice our skills in dealing with fires classified as Rural Urban Interface (or RUI) situations. We have been fortunate and very much appreciate the response from our local community in generously allowing us to enter their properties to hone and refresh our RUI skills in the coming weeks.
The first of these RUI sessions will be on Tuesday, 21st October, and we will remind you again ahead of a second training currently planned for Tuesday 18th November.
As always, thank you all for your continued cooperation and support.
