Brigade Training Opportunities
As we wind up the 2024/2025 fire season, the Brigade will shift focus its into training. This presents an opportunity for members interested developing their skill and challenging themselves to take on training activities. This is particularly important for Senior Fire-fighters who are aspiring to take on Lieutenant roles in the near future. Presenting training on a topic which you are not deeply familiar or comfortable with is an excellent way of developing your knowledge in that area.
If you have a training topic which you would like to present please discuss it with Shane and Adrian.
