Mark Boothman MP Blog - Rural Fire Brigade

Last night, Guanaba Rural Fire Brigade braved the cold night air to further their skills and train the next generation of rural volunteers. The new volunteers learnt quick response skills, such as calculating water flow over distance, how to prime a water pump, replenishing water tanks and quick responses to changing conditions.

Our Guanaba Rural Fire Brigade volunteers are burning large storm debris wood piles around Guanaba today. These legends regularly give up their free time to help our community, no better example was last Christmas devastating storm.

Our local legends from the Coomera Valley Rural Fire Brigade are working the Oxenford Bunnings BBQ today. Please support these legends and put some cash in the donation box

The next issue that will become critical for the safety of many communities will be access to the fire trails that we use to access bush fires and work from for containment lines before bushfires get to close to homes.
