🔥We’re preparing for fire season, are you?🔥

Thursday night’s training saw some of our brigade members undertake their annual entrapment procedure training, preparing our members for the possibility of being caught by a rapidly changing fire.

While getting out of the area is always the priority, there are situations where conditions can change quickly, escape routes can become unsafe, or a fire can behave unexpectedly.

Our crews practise sheltering in the fire truck as a last resort, preparing for situations where a sudden change in fire behaviour means they can no longer safely outrun or escape the fire.

There are thousands of different scenarios that can lead to an entrapment, which is why regular training and preparation are so important as we head into summer.

🔥 Thursday Night Training – Mildura CFA 🔥
Last Thursday evening our brigade members, along with some new recruits, came together locally for another valuable training session.
Regular skills maintenance is a vital part of what we do. It ensures our members stay confident and capable when responding to incidents – whether that’s a grassfire, structure fire, road crash rescue, or assisting our community in other emergencies. Training keeps our techniques sharp, equipment familiar, and our responses safe and effective.
Just as important as the practical skills is the team bonding that comes with it. Working together in training builds trust, communication and understanding – so when the pressure is on, we operate as one team.
It’s great to see new members getting involved and learning from experienced firefighters. Everyone starts somewhere, and every training night strengthens our brigade.
If you’ve ever thought about joining as a volunteer, now’s a great time to reach out to us. We’re always looking for community-minded people who want to make a difference.
Stay safe, Mildura 👨‍🚒🔥
