Hi 9(2)a, thanks for the email.
In r

members can put in if they are available or not. FENZ has a 60% attendance to fires
and training but Wakari run a 30% attending fire calls. We have a 24 crew members so

7 responding to the station on a first call will get 2 or 3 appliances out the door. I hope
that answers your question. I'm going to be at the fire station tomorrow at 10am. Feel
free to call in for a look around.
Regards Trevor Booth.

INFORMATION
Hi Trevor,
Thank you for sending this information through. I'm definitely interested in becoming a
rural volunteer, or at least looking into the process further.
Regarding the checklist on the information sheet, I meet all the criteria. I also have my
9(2)a
. My one question
regards availability - how do volunteers manage going out of town for personal reasons if
expected to be on call? As I mentioned on the phone, 9(2)a
so I'm based at
home the vast majority of the time, but am curious as to what would happen if I were
planning to be away.
Let me know if there is any other information you need from me at this point - I'm looking
forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards,
9(2)a

support to those who experience more frequent traumatic events, such as K41 incidents.
Following completion of Incident Response Tasks, brigade leaders and managers will have
greater reporting for their brigade, such as:
How many incidents brigade members have responded to
Ability to identify brigade crewing challenges such as no Officer response or no
response due to lack of drivers. This provides the evidence required for brigades
needs and succession planning. It also identifies training needs to be provided by the
