Joint pre-season exercise at Steiglitz

D07 and D15 Ground Observers D07 and D15 Ground Observers

 

A great day in the field as members from Districts 7 and 15 came together for a joint pre-season exercise at Steiglitz and in the Brisbane Ranges National Park.

 

The exercise provided a valuable opportunity for both units to work alongside each other, share knowledge and experience, and refresh practical skills ahead of the upcoming fire season.

Working in the field, members collected fuel data, undertook weather observations and put their skills into practice, building on the knowledge and experience needed to support informed decision-making during fire incidents.

Beyond the practical training, it was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen relationships between the two districts, exchange ideas and learn from each other.

A great day of teamwork, shared learning and preparation for the season ahead.
