Called to report of smoke near Sawyers Valley Primary School. The reported smoke was found to be from bee-keepers working in the area.

Attended by: Dave S., John R., Keith, and Michelle.

It has recently been reported that the siren on the Light Tanker is intermittently turning on whilst the vehicle is being drive. Given the age of the siren unit, and the anticipated replacement of the Light Tanker in the near future, it is possible that a permanent fix may not be forthcoming.

Members are requested to monitor this issue and report and instances to Keith.

No updates.

The latest Mundaring Fire School training calendar is attached.

Many thanks to those who have already advised they can assist on the day – if anyone can spare an hour or two to help Lorna with the kids activities, John L on the BBQ, Dave R with photos, and Adrian with demonstrations please contact Vicki. All assistance greatly appreciated.

Due to a scheduling issue, the this event has been rescheduled for Saturday 5th of June.

The Event will still be held at the Mundaring Recreation Ground, Mundaring Weir Road, commencing at 1700 hours. (In the event of unfavourable weather conditions, the event will be moved to the Arena).

The format for the evening will be along similar lines as previous years with the tug-of-war between Brigades, State Emergency Service and all other challengers for the Fire & Emergency Services trophy. At the completion of the games there will be a presentation of Life Membership Awards, followed by the evening meal.

The catering for the event will be handled by WA Spit Roast. They will be supplying meat, salads, bread, desserts, condiments, cutlery and plates. Beer, wine and soft drink will be supplied. Please note there will be no charge.

A Bouncy Castle has been hired and a DJ will be providing the music.

Please RSVP to Vicki with numbers attending by Wednesday the 14th of April, and whether you would be available for our tug-of-war team.
