This summer, local CFA Brigades have been very stretched when responding to a number of fires that started in the area.
In an effort to boost volunteer numbers, the Mansfield Group of Fire Brigades is holding a Volunteer Information Session on 25 March at 6pm at the Mansfield Fire
Station.
Anyone interested in volunteering, regardless of background or experience is welcome to come along on the evening.
Whether you are looking to give back to your community, develop new skills, or meet like-minded individuals, the Volunteer Information Session will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about what you could do to support the CFA and help keep our communities safe.
People attending will have the chance to meet local volunteers and District 23 staff, hear their stories and to have questions answered.
Men and women with all kinds of backgrounds volunteer with the CFA – farmers, parents, doctors and nurses, business owners, retirees and young people…
They are highly trained and respond to urban, rural, residential, industrial and bush fires, motor vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents, rescues, floods and
storms.
CFA volunteers develop a strong sense of responsibility, teamwork and the ability to think and make decisions under pressure.
And, with all the training and skill building, being a CFA volunteer looks great on a resume.
The evening will include presentations on the various volunteer roles available, the training provided, and the benefits of becoming a volunteer.
There is no need to register for the session.
For more information, please contact Matt Anderson on 0417 730 387 or Sue Hare on 0407 000 512.
