Weekly Vehicle Checks
As we enter the high threat period in the coming months, the weekly vehicle checks will revert to Saturday mornings. This is to provide greater opportunity for all operational members to participate in the checks as part of the wider group, and ensure that all members are familiar with the layout and operation of the appliances.
