SCOTLAND ISLAND RURAL
FIRE BRIGADE
Rural Fire Service Open Day & Get Ready
Weekend
9am to 3pm on Sunday
September 13
The Rural Fire
Service Open Day & Get Ready Weekend is a key step in preparing the
island and its residents for the upcoming fire season.
This
year we are hosting a fire shed dinner on Saturday September 12 and we
are opening the fire shed from 9am to 3pm on Sunday September 13.
There will be a number of important and fun activities during Open Day
on September 13 including:
- Live fire extinguisher and fire blanket
demonstrations – find out what it is really like to use a fire
extinguisher!
- Smoke alarm demonstrations – see how they work
and how much smoke is required for one to go off
- Let the kids use a variety of fire hoses to see
what it is like putting out a bushfire
- Review our emergency evacuation map for all
island properties and make sure we know exactly how to find you if you
need emergency assistance
- Prepare a bushfire survival plan for your family
If you have been thinking about joining the Brigade it will also be a
great opportunity to talk to members of both the Community Fire Unit
and the regular brigade.
The BBQ will be running from 10am so bring the family down and have
morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea on us.
