This past Monday July 20th, Cranbourne Fire Brigade hosted a cluster training for ourselves alongside neighbouring brigades and other agencies.
This exercise was a structure fire with reports of multiple people trapped.
This was largely a search and rescue exercise focused on breathing apparatus, search and rescue alongside leadership on the fireground.
This was a fantastic controlled environment for crews to also train using our duress alarms and MAYDAY calls, something we hope will never need to be used in a real world scenario.
This was also an excellent opportunity for us to utilise our friends at SES, assisting with a mobile casualty tent for our crews to place patients into.
We would like to thank Cranbourne Junior Football club for allowing us to use their clubrooms to fill with smoke and giving us a sizeable space to conduct our drill.

We would also like to thank the below Brigades and agencies for assisting with our exercise:

Devon Meadows Fire Brigade
Pearcedale Fire Brigade
Warneet-Blind Bight Fire Brigade CFA
SES Cranbourne Unit
FRV Station 92 & Commander

A big thank you to David from the Berwick Op Shop, who stopped by last night to personally hand deliver another generous donation to our brigade.

The Berwick Op Shop has been supporting us for many years, and their ongoing generosity continues to make a real difference.

Their contributions help us maintain our equipment, support our volunteers, and continue serving our community.

We are incredibly grateful for the long standing relationship we share and the continued support shown by the wonderful team at the Berwick Op Shop.

🧡 WEAR ORANGE WEDNESDAY 🧡

Today we proudly wear orange to show our support for our great friends in SES.

SES volunteers dedicate countless hours to helping others, responding to emergencies such as storm damage, floods, rescues, and road crashes.

Their commitment to keeping our community safe does not go unnoticed.
