A great night of training alongside Sawtell Fire & Rescue and Boambee RFS, working through a simulated truck fire scenario with a focus on fire and rescue operations.

It was a great opportunity to put our skills into practice, work together as a team and gain valuable experience in managing a vehicle fire scenario.

A big thank you to Sawtell Fire & Rescue for a great night of training and to everyone who got involved. It was a productive night of learning, teamwork and building our skills for when it matters most. 👨‍🚒🔥🚒

🚒 **Joint Training Exercise – Bonville **

Last night, crews from Bonville RFS took part in a joint training exercise with Fire and Rescue NSW Sawtell, Boambee RFS and North Bellingen RFS.

The exercise focused on a simulated heavy vehicle fire, giving crews the opportunity to work together and practise real-world incident operations in a safe training environment.

Our Cat 6 operated as a bulk water carrier, working alongside Fire and Rescue crews to practise water management and supply operations. Crews also worked through a Breathing Apparatus (BA) operation, with firefighters entering the simulated incident area to extinguish the truck fire.

Exercises like this are a great opportunity to strengthen inter-agency relationships, improve communication and ensure our crews are prepared to work effectively alongside other emergency services when it matters.

A big thank you to all the crews from Bonville, Sawtell, Boambee and North Bellingen who took part and made the evening a valuable training opportunity. 👨‍🚒🔥💦

Train together. Work together. Respond together.

🚒 Bonville RFS Training Night 🚒

This week, members of Bonville RFS participated in a realistic training scenario involving a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) that escalated into a vehicle fire.

The exercise provided firefighters with the opportunity to practise responding to a challenging and dynamic incident, while reinforcing the importance of safe and effective firefighting techniques. Crews utilised Breathing Apparatus (BA) to protect their lungs from harmful smoke and toxic gases, allowing them to operate safely in a hazardous environment.

Training also included the important role of the Breathing Apparatus Control Officer (BACO), who is responsible for monitoring BA wearers, tracking air usage, recording movements, and ensuring firefighter safety throughout the operation.

Regular training is essential to maintaining our skills and preparedness. The more we train, the better equipped we are to respond safely, effectively, and professionally when our community needs us most.

A great effort by all members involved, demonstrating the commitment and dedication that helps keep Bonville and surrounding communities safe.
