🚒 Joint Training with Fire & Rescue NSW – Station 238 🚨

Last night, the Broken Hill SES had a fantastic opportunity to participate in joint training with our local Fire and Rescue NSW Station 238 Broken Hill

The focus of the training was gaining entry to buildings, covering a range of techniques from passive and non-destructive methods through to forcible entry.

It was a fantastic night of practical training and an invaluable opportunity for everyone involved to learn new techniques, build skills and share knowledge.

Joint training like this is extremely important as it strengthens the relationships between emergency service agencies and helps ensure we can work effectively together when responding to incidents in our community. 🤝

All members of the Broken Hill SES would like to extend a huge thank you to the team at Fire & Rescue NSW Station 238 for giving up their time, sharing their knowledge and teaching us some new techniques.

We look forward to continuing our interagency training and building an even stronger working relationship in the future!
