Despite the fire brigade’s best efforts, Saturday’s training day failed to produce enough flames to test the volunteers’ skills. Areas around town proved to be too green still to gain the desired results.
Brigade members gathered at the tennis courts 8.30 Saturday morning prepared for a day of action on the home front.
Communication appears to have improved in the past month or so but still some locals had short warning of the burn-off activity
Next time maybe a schedule advising the public where the burn-offs are to take place could be posted prior to the exercise?
Protective gear was worn by some members. It’s good to see the planning actually in action and saves confusion for the uninitiated. Now the only question is – what happens at a burn-off when you can’t raise a spark?
