Update: Fire Training Day July 18
At this stage seven RFS Brigades have confirmed their participation, and we’re waiting on responses from another four.
The program will be posted on the website next Friday and also in flyers. There will be lots of activities throughout the day as they rotate, so get involved and you’ll have fun while learning: from 8.30 a.m to 3.30 p.m
In case of bad weather the whole event will be postponed to the following Saturday, and Paul will make that call, so stayed tuned.
A coordination meeting is set for this coming Monday at the Camp Kitchen at 5.30 p.m

A meeting is planned this coming Saturday from 9 a.m. to discuss the plans for the refuge. Meet open-air at the Red Hill playground.
Fire Training Day 18 July
Paul is planning and organising the upcoming Goolawah fire training day, and reports that it is shaping up very well, so far with approx 10 RFS brigades and NPWS attending.
He’s looking for a section of bush to practice a hazard reduction burn and considering the triangle of bush behind Luke and Ish: two acres bounded by two tracks and North Gate Rd. It’s easy to contain fire there, has not burned since 2002 and is not too far from Red Hill, which is the centre of events on the day. Please contact him asap if you know of a better site.
Catering is being provided by the co-op, so we need volunteers to help put lunch on. Please also let Paul know if you can help with catering.
A flyer will be distributed to members as well as local neighbours in the area inviting them to attend too. It appears on the main public section of our website under events.
