Water quality at Fiskville - message from the CEO
As you may be aware the Herald Sun recently reported on the quality of water being used for training purposes at Fiskville. We take very seriously the health, safety and wellbeing of our members and indeed all persons using the training facilities at Fiskville.
To provide certainty and comfort for all people doing live fire training at Fiskville, we made a decision last week to only use mains water until further notice.

FEEDBACK: D14 Exercise - Sunday 5th December
I would like to thank everyone that was involved in last weeks exercise. An exercise of that size and scale requires everyone involved to participate in the spirit for which it is intended to be a success. This includes the crews on the trucks, the facilitators and the people that undertook roles at the ICC & “Div Comm”, without the commitment and enthusiasm that everyone displayed we would not have had such a successful outcome.

Unfortunately, despite their promises, CFA operations management did not do the exercise planning that they had committed to and insisted on doing themselves.

Training Visit to VicFire & FIRS
Hi all
We are arranging a visit to VICFIRE & FIRS located at CFA Head Quarters Tally Ho on Monday 8th November 2010. This is to familiarise ourselves with how VICFIRE take 000 calls and turn us out.
Also we will visit the FIRS Reporting section. All fires have to be reported on by contacting FIRS so you can see how and why we do this!!! If you want to find out more about FIRS go to CFA Connect as there was an article about them a few weeks ago.
The plan is to take 20 people per visit. When we get to CFA Head Quarters 10 will go to VICFIRE & 10 will go to FIRS then we will swap around.
If we get more that 20 people wanting to attend we can can arrange another visit for the remaining members on the Monday 16th November.
So please email or call Geoff or myself to put your name down. For new members this is must, you will be able to put a face to a voice that you hear over the radio and get a proper understanding on how the despatching system works...
Kind Regards
Michael Chapman
