New Recruits HR burn at Jerrabomberra Ave

Our latest batch of new recruits are being put through the paces today in the final part of their Basic Firefighter course. They are carrying out a hazard reduction burn on Jerrabomberra Ave under the watchful eyes of Pat Barling, Rob Gore, Dave Wassall and Andrew Joyce.

Deputy Chief Officer Michael Joyce was on hand to capture a few photos of the recruits as they went about their work.

More ACTRFS Gala Dinner Photos

For the first time at this years ACTRFS Gala Dinner and Awards Night, we had our volunteer Gary Hooker whom is a keen photographer to set up a photo booth so members and brigades could get their photo taken.  This proved very popular.  Below are some of the photos from the photo booth.
