| + | Our 1.4 will be away from the brigade receiving safety upgrades, from Thursday, for four weeks. In its place we will have two additional Light Tankers. These Light Tankers will be called Sawyers Valley Light Tanker 2 and Sawyers Valley Light Tanker 3. Our original Light Tanker will resume the name Sawyers Valley Light Tanker 1. | ||

| + | The replacement appliances will only be fitted with a single radio, making them ill suited for management roles such as Incident Controller, Sector Command or Ground Controller. When turning out, please consider your likelihood to be operating in any of these roles and select your appliance accordingly. Note that there is no requirement for the Light Tankers to be turned out in order. | ||
