You haven't heard from me for a while but I assure you I have been quite busy sorting out training for our Aerial Ladder Platform. This appliance is a great resource that will help us in a variety of incidents.
Tonight I joined Police and Ambulance in some community engagement. However, had to cut it short due to a job involving our Environmental Protection Unit.
The other day we had a Hazardous materials job, which included a Lorry RTC. This lorry was carrying magnesium powder and this powder is known to be very flammable and combustible, D class powder was used to extinguish the fire safely.

On tonight's shift, while we weren't responding to incidents, we took the opportunity to practice our BA entry. This training is done to protect firefighters from what may be behind the door and can also reduce the possibility of a backdraft.
On tonights shift, we had 3 stations around the city on shift, at my station we had access to use our brand new water bowser. This appliance was a great use to us in providing water to an incident ground in a sparse location.
Here you can see a roof on fire, for these types of incident we will request our Turntable Ladder which gives us the ability to fight the fire from above while keeping a safe distance away. Meaning no firefighters are put at risk.
