Following on from yesterday's busy day, today Boro 1 joined Mulloon Rural Fire Brigade (and the Deputy Captain Group 1) on a familiarisation drive along several firetrails in the Tallaganda area. Many of our members who participated today have moved to the region since the 19/20 Black Summer fires so it was good to see the terrain, vegetation, and hear how fires progressed through the area. An excellent opportunity for newish drivers to consolidate skills on fire trails. As a bonus the convoy stopped a couple of times to clear branches off the trails.๐ช
Meanwhile 15km away, Boro 9 was flying the BMF flag on NAVEX26. 2 fun days of exercises and complex scenarios.
A great training day all around.
