The brigade competitions are a fun way for us to prepare for a really serious business.
00:05
We help to make summer safer by getting our firefighters involved in competitions like this.
00:10
It sharpens their skills, they get an opportunity to work as a team and they get to know some of
00:14
the other brigades from around the state that they might be working with when there's a big
00:19
campaign fire on. It's also a wonderful way for us to get our juniors involved. Some of the best
00:24
firefighters that we have in our service were junior firefighters back in the day. Even the
00:28
commissioner's competed here on the fire ground in his time and so we really use this as an
00:33
opportunity to develop our young people. Certainly it's about the teamwork and the bonding you know
00:39
working under pressure but also having a bit of a good time about it as well. Certainly you know
00:44
everyone goes to incidents and they are stressful and this is part of that team building and making
00:50
sure people are prepared. It's all part of gathering the experience of being a volunteer.
00:56
Certainly you know just putting on their PPC, making sure it's fit for purpose,
01:01
ensuring that they are getting prepared both from that competition side which
01:07
puts a bit of pressure on them so when they do attend an incident
01:10
that preparation is getting them in good stead for the actual incident.
