Thursday night training : “making the dream work”
Last night crews took on the obstacle course where team work makes the dream work.
Using precise communication, teamwork and problem solving, crews were required to work throughout an obstacle course carrying a makeshift stretcher whilst maintaining the “patients” balance.
The night was finished off with a game of “bowls” helping to fine tune our hose techniques and add a little competition to the mix.

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and assist.

Thursday night training. “Blues Clues”.

Crews were tasked to identify multiple locations using grid references and multiple mapping platforms in order to find clues hidden around the district.
Using great team work and ingenuity crews successfully identified all locations and had a bit of fun along the way.
