This week we trained with our neighbouring brigades in Pearcedale to see how quick we could contain a fire in Colley st reserve if it was to happen.
With our main focus being on asset protection and containing the fire to the boundaries. We had the RPAS (drone) unit from Rowville and Westernport group’s mobile incident control van, also a visit from Sgt Lachie Gray from Hastings Vicpol. It was a very educational experience for a lot of the members to see how a drone can help us make the important decisions to make public safety our number 1 priority. A big thanks to all involved and to Adam for countless hours to make this happen and to our support group who braved the cold to put on hot drinks and light refreshments. Thanks again to all involved.
