With the cold, wet weather this week, our Junior brigade (and a couple of seniors) practised their skills indoors - with some fine motor skill games while wearing gloves.

What activities would you find difficult wearing firefighting gloves?

🚨This week we visited Warragul Regional College for a road crash rescue demonstration, together with the Warragul Fire Brigade.

⚒️ During the session we shared the steps we take when we respond to vehicle accidents. The students got to see and hear the tools at work and understand how every minute matters when extricating patients.

Today is the start of National Road Safety Week, and an important reminder that we all have a part to play in making our roads safer. We hope demonstrations like this help to increase awareness of the hazards that exist and what we can do to look out for each other on the roads so we all make it home safely 🧡.

Special thanks to Drouin Scrap Metal for once again supplying our vehicle for the demo.

We pause today to commemorate ANZAC day; the 111th anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troops at Gallipoli. We remember the sacrifices of those who have served in all conflicts and peacekeeping operations, past and present, as well as their families.

Lest we forget
