Mundaring Fire School and Training

As covered in General Circular 107/2024, the Bushfire Centre of Excellence has developed an online training module covering Unexploded Ordinances. The module takes about 30 minutes to complete and is aimed at all bushfire response personnel, particularly firefighters and OICs/Crew Leaders. It covers the challenges, constraints and considerations when UXO is found during firefighting or fire mitigation activities.

All members are encouraged to complete this training module, which can be found in eAcademy.
