Last night, a crew of 30+ members took part in interbrigade training with Marsden Park Rural Fire Brigade focusing on closed circuit relay pumping.
The crew was put through multiple realistic scenarios they could potentially face at any incident. In attendance were 1 Bulk Water, 2 Cat 1s, 1 Cat 7 and 1 Cat 9, giving members the opportunity to work together across a range of appliances and operational situations.
It was great to see excellent teamwork, strong communication and outstanding hose management throughout the night.
Training like this is essential, particularly with neighbouring brigades that we work alongside regularly. It's also invaluable for members who may be part of composite crews, allowing them to build confidence operating appliances they may not be familiar with.
A great night of learning, collaboration and strengthening the partnerships that help us provide the best possible service to our communities. Well done to everyone involved!
