 +  - Saturday 10th August

 + 
 +Nominations for a training course must be with the Shire at least one week prior to the course, although more notice will help guarantee your spot.

 +=== DFES Rapid Alert === 
 +Rapid Alert is the system used by DFES for turning out volunteer crews. It has recently been upgraded, with several new numbers added to the system. Call-out SMSs may now originate from one of 10 different numbers: 
 + 
 +  * 0448 160 087 
 +  * 0417 137 029 
 +  * 0447 311 559 
 +  * 0427 278 415 
 +  * 0438 547 655 
 +  * 0456 665 397 
 +  * 0417 178 118 
 +  * 0427 203 462 
 +  * 0427 198 077 
 +  * 0427 798 295 
 + 
 +It is recommended that these numbers be added to your phone's addressbook as a single contact (ie "Fire" or "Rapid Alert") which is set to Emergency Bypass. By doing so, messages from these numbers will always play an audible tone, regardless of whether the phone is set to silent. 
 + 
 +Attached is an [[http://wiki.sawyersvalley.bfb.asn.au/_media/newsletters:operational_circular_28-2019---rapid-alert-caller-id.pdf|Operational Circular]] describing the changes, and a [[http://wiki.sawyersvalley.bfb.asn.au/_media/newsletters:fire-callout.vcf|contact card]] which can be added to your phone's address book.
