DFES Control Burns, Thursday and Friday
DFES are conducting a couple of control burns on Thursday and Friday this week. The burn organiser has specifically requested “heavies”, although a Light Tanker crew could still be gratefully accepted. If you are interested participating contact Adrian.
Station Access Control
Recently some of our members have completed some work to install and activate the electronic access control system on the side entry door at the station. This system supplants the regular key entry, with individually issued RFID swipe cards or key fobs. These are available from the station. It is suggested that each member take a key fob as well as enrol their DFES Volunteer ID in the system as a backup.
For now the existing station key will continue to work. Once all members have been issued new access cards or fobs the door lock will be replaced with a more secure option using high-security keys.
To receive your key fob please contact Adrian, Keith, or Matt.
