Wednesday night training was a fantastic opportunity for our members to work alongside the crew from
Fire and Rescue NSW Station 387 Mudgee, putting our skills, teamwork and communication to the test in a realistic training scenario.
Working together with Fire and Rescue NSW is vital. Whether weโre responding to an incident in town or out in the bush, we support each other and work towards the same goal, keeping our community safe.
The evening saw crews from 387 make entry into our smoke filled training container in Breathing Apparatuses to conduct a search and rescue operation for occupants trapped inside. Once the search had been completed, our RFS members entered with Breathing Apparatuses into the structure to continue the search and carry out any fire suppression activities that were required.
We were also fortunate to have Cudgegong District RPAS Operator Nick, SDC of Mullamuddy Brigade on hand, showcasing the capabilities of the drone and thermal imaging technology. These tools are becoming increasingly valuable at incidents, providing crews with greater situational awareness and helping improve firefighter safety.
A big thank you to the crew from Fire and Rescue NSW 387 for sharing their knowledge, experience, and practical tips throughout the night. The lessons learned and skills developed during training nights like these help ensure weโre better prepared for real incidents when the call comes.
๐ Training hard so weโre ready when our community needs us.
