No updates.

The latest Mundaring Fire School calendar is attached.

At the most recent Brigade meeting it was decided that the Brigade will hold a Station Open Day, on the 22nd of September. This will be an opportunity for local residence to inspect the station, meet our Brigade members, and hopefully take away some valuable information regarding bushfire safety and volunteering.

A large number of activities are being organised for kids; including games, treasure hunts, branch target practise, and photographs. A number of presentations are also planned, covering bushfire safety, home preparation, winter burning, and volunteering.

This open day will be a fantastic opportunity for the Brigade to engage with the local community, and hopefully drive some recruitment. A large amount of assistance will be required to prepare for the day, so if you are interested please contact Adrian.

The Minister of Emergency Services, Fran Logan, has arranged an opportunity to meet with female fire fighters in the Shire. The Minister is looking forward to having an informal chat and answer any questions.
