Cupar Community - We need your help. Not only are we recruiting, (see previous post) but we require your help with training venues.
Our team are constantly training in various aspects of the role, none more so important than Breathing Apparatus (BA). This is the single most critical tool that keeps us safe and allows us to enter a smoke filled building safely.
Whilst we do have facilities that the crew can travel too, having a few places local would be of great help.
What do we need - ideally empty, but partially furnished, or with items laying about are great, whether it's a house, warehouse or empty shop.
What would we do - Carry out BA procedures allowing us to continuously develop. This includes casually rescue.
Would we use water 💧 - Absolutely no water would be used.
Would we use cosmetic smoke - Only if the premises was empty and permission granted from the owner.
When would we use it - the crew train on a Tuesday night from 6 -9. This is the ideal time, but we can be flexible if use can only be granted on other days etc.
How often would you use it - depending on how many venues we can get, at the most once or twice a 3 month period.
What access do you require - initially someone to let us in and shows us where the services are etc.
If you think you can help, please touch base with us. By messenger, pop into the station or speak to a local FF.
We will then be in touch and carry out a risk assessment of the premises.
Thanks for your continued support.
Cupar Billboard if you wouldn't mind sharing please.
