Thank you to Chris and Adrian from Brooklyn Rural Fire Brigade for bringing the new Brooklyn Fire Boat over for our crew, Lil, Graeme and Ameli to train and familiarise ourselves on. These new fire boats are adding greater response capabilities to our water brigades 👏👨‍🚒

Thank you for sharing this history of our brigade Nathan. It certainly demonstrates the power of small river communities like ours and importance of working collaboratively with Council.

Congratulations to all returning officers, and to our new Training Officer Ameli and Safety Officer Andrew.

Recognition was also given to brigade members who received The Premier’s Citations for their work during the 2022 to 2023 flood operations.

Appreciation to the District Fire Control Centre for their ongoing support, and to Grant, Nathan and Keith for attending.

Strong turnout from members, finishing with the usual BBQ sausage sizzle.

As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability, we're harnessing the roaming capabilities of cattle to provide temporary communications when service connectivity is disrupted due to major incidents like floods or bushfires.

The tactical CoW provides access to internet services, extended Wi-Fi and local radio repeater capability, using 4G and satellite technologies. With this new capability our CoWs are able to help communities reconnect if they're cut-off or isolated. Now that's what we call cow-nectivity!
