Deployment of ST 1422 east

Please be aware we have had a request to deploy another ST to Kerang to aid in flood support.

Clean up activities,

The deployment is for 4 days beginning tomorrow morning. Monday to Thursday inclusive.

As is now normal practice we can have blocks of 2 days to spread the load amongst our members.

Accommodation will be at Huntly and it is a fair drive to that location from Kerang, it would be wise to include a second driver among the crews being dispatched.

In regard to safety, it would be a good idea to advise members to bring along some appropriate headwear and eye protection (UV exposure)

I am sure a specific briefing will take place prior to dispatch and on arrival at Kerang.

Could you all please make the necessary arrangements to brief the respective 1422 on duty Fire Brigades.

I will soon page out this information and request activation for tomorrow morning via VicFire.

Any concerns
