Following previous years, training topics are repeated over four weeks. This allows each crew to an opportunity to undertake the training, whilst limiting member's commitment to one Saturday per month. Some topics are aligned with training courses at the Mundaring Firefighter School, providing a solid briefing for members undertaking these courses.

Recruiting Opportunities
Monday night's meeting identified two recruiting opportunities early this year; the State Election polling station at Sawyer Valley Primary School on the 13th of March, and a Station Open Day the following weekend on the 20th of March. Both events will require a large number of volunteers to be successful. If you are interested in assisting with either event, please contact Vicki.
