The Brigade Roster will be updated over the coming week, with an aim to better represent our members' availability as well as incorporate our new members. If you have any requests regarding the roster or how the teams are formed please contact Adrian.

A number of members have indicated an interest in assisting with Brigade Hazard Reduction burns in the near future. With the wet weather continuing current activity is focused around planning future burns and better organising the burns register. Thank you to those who have expressed an interest in this important Brigade activity, and hopefully we shall see some action soon.

With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, members are again invited to participate in the Saturday morning vehicle checks and training. Social distancing obligations must still be adhered to, however there is significant scope for some useful and interesting training and greater involvement from our members.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding attending the station, please contact Adrian.
