Grizzly bears and wolverines at the June 2023 Volunteer Forum

 

One of the highlights from this month's Volunteer Forum was a live cross to Canada when the unlikely topic of grizzly bears and wolverines was discussed.

 

CFA Logistics Officer Nicki Lund revealed that fire dangers aren't the only risks that emergency services from Victoria have been briefed about while on deployment to Canada.

Also in this month's forum was the June training update recorded at the fire investigation training facility at VEMTC Huntly and interviews with members who have recently done the Respond to Urban course.
