HQ Brigade members were lucky enough to be invited out to Avalon to view the Large Air Tankers (LATS) that have been used for fire response this season. A big thankyou to all who came, and the pilots and crew who were happy to talk to us and answer all our questions.

Not all heroes wear yellow turnout gear - some of them work behind the scenes at Incident Control Centres, making sure that those on the fireground have everything they need. The ICC covers Planning, Logistics, Public Information and Operations, to name a few.

Pictured here are members of D8 Headquarters Brigade working in the Dandenong ICC today.

Keep up the good work team!

Doing it old school!
A big thankyou to Berwick Fire Brigade CFA for taking our members through burnover drills this weekend. Many of our non-operational members don't get to play with fire trucks very often and due to Berwick's tanker being in for repair, we were treated to working off the single cab tanker with ROPS on the back deck. A great learning experience for important safety drills when attending fires.
