Training is all about being prepared.

We train, so what we do becomes easier. We train, because it helps us learn and grow stronger. We train, so we are as best prepared for any circumstances. We train, because it causes unity within our brigade.

Saturdays training was no different. We are even training with different equipment incase the fuel shortage last longer… we just need to find the right cart for the little fella to pull.

Thank you to all members for giving up your Saturday afternoon.
