=== Successful Burns, 11th and 1th July ===
Many thanks to Ben M. and Warren for managing hazard reduction burns last weekend, completing burns on Martin Road, and Goslin St. Both burns went well and achieved their objectives for the land owners.

If you are interested in taking on the management of a burn, please contact [[Captain@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Adrian]].

=== Training Records ===
The DFES eAcademy Team have announced a new system that allows members to generate a report on their training progress. The system can be access through the Volunteer Portal, and is available under the "My Systems" menu. This provides a useful method for assessing your professional development within the Bush Fire Service, and help determine your future training needs.

If you have any questions, please contact [[Training@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Rob]] or [[Captain@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Adrian]].
