Brigade says 'drop in to training'
The Patonga Volunteer Rural Bush Fire Brigade is asking anyone interested in joining the brigade to drop in to training at the fire station on a Tuesday evening.
The crew did some navigation training, local familiarization and a search and rescue exercise on Tuesday, February 20.
The brigade simulated a search by tracing the route of "Sharon", whose mobile had pinged at a few locations along a local fire trail.
Armed with first aid kit and maps, they forged their way into the bush, finding dropped gloves and thankfully an uninjured "Sharon" close to one of the location spots.
They were then "treated to an amazing sunset".
