Guess who stopped by our station for a visit? 🙋🏼‍♂️

It was a pleasure to welcome the Hon. Reece Whitby MLA to our station for a visit and a look around our facilities. The visit provided a great opportunity to showcase our station, equipment and the work our volunteers undertake in supporting and protecting the local community.

We would like to sincerely thank Minister Whitby for taking the time to visit, speak with our members and learn more about the important role our brigade plays within the community. We greatly appreciate his time and his ongoing commitment and support for our volunteers and the wider community.

How do firefighters navigate and find their way to safety in zero visibility conditions? 🔥💨

Tonight’s training focused on a guideline drill, where members practiced tying a guideline while operating in blacked out conditions. Crews then conducted a search through a maze, using the guideline to navigate and locate the exit. The drill was designed to strengthen confidence, teamwork and search techniques in low visibility environments.

🔋 A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OUR BRIGADE 🔋

After months of planning, coordination and hard work, Kalgoorlie Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service is pleased to announce the completion of our Backup Generator Project.

This new system provides the brigade with a reliable emergency power supply, ensuring our station remains operational during power outages. From maintaining communications and emergency response systems to ensuring access to our appliance bays and critical equipment, this project strengthens our ability to respond to emergencies at any time, under any conditions.

As volunteers, being prepared is at the heart of everything we do. This project represents a significant investment in the resilience of our brigade and our ongoing commitment to protecting the Kalgoorlie Boulder community.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of the organisations and individuals who contributed to making this project a reality:

• Rotary Club of Boulder - WA
• Ali Kent MLA - Member for Kalgoorlie
• Norton Gold Fields
• BHP Western Australia
• Genwest Pty Ltd.
• Reliablee
• VPT Mechanical Solutions

Your support of volunteer emergency services directly contributes to a safer and more prepared community.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank our Apparatus Officer, Jamie Lawn, for his dedication and leadership in managing this project from concept through to completion. Jamie invested countless hours coordinating funding, engaging with sponsors, liaising with contractors and overseeing the installation to ensure the project was delivered successfully. His commitment and passion for improving our brigade’s capabilities have left a lasting legacy that will benefit our members and community for many years to come.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in bringing this project to life. Together, we have strengthened the future of Kalgoorlie VFRS and our ability to serve the community when it matters most. 🚒
