Introduction to Fire Fighting, and Bush Fire Fighting training is being planned for the coming weeks. Whilst this is primarily to training our two new recruits, it does present an opportunity for other brigade members to complete these two training course. The intention here is to allow members who are not interested in attending fires to still participate in brigade operation activities; including hazard reduction burns, delivery of equipment and appliances to fire grounds, etc.

All currently non-operational members are encouraged to consider undertaking this training. Timing for the training will be co-ordinated by [[Training@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Rob]] and [[Keith@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Keith]].
