Much has happened with training since 2000, too much to fit it all in. Intentions are to include training calendar and training requirement listing for each level. Current changes to the Public safety competency will also be included.

Below is for interest sake, we all like a bit of destruction....

On the 30th July, 2000 we were again able to use an old house for training purposes. The previous Tuesday evening was used for blacked out SCBA house rescue training. On the Sunday new members got to see first hand how long it takes for a dwelling to ignite with all doors closed (approx. 8 minutes.) and then how long it takes when they are opened. Images to view are linked below they are fairly small in size (approx 15kB each).

• House on "Highway 1" - Preview just getting started.
• House image #2 - Break through at approx. 8 minutes.
• House image #3- Just cooking.
• House image #4- Really steaming now !
• House image #5- Just about gone.
• House image #6- That's pretty well it folks.
