Fire Ops 101
Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (13:51): Last Wednesday I did the Fire Ops 101 experience, for want of a better term, at the FRV training centre in Craigieburn. You go through a few scenarios to see the things that the firefighters do and to appreciate their skill and dedication. Thanks to all. It was interesting for me, who has had a propensity to call them hose fairies and all sorts of things as firefighters, in the spirit of competition. But they do very serious things and can be very serious people. I have got to say extra thanks to Vanessa, who had the unenviable task of being my handler for the day. She kept me under control.
