Drill Nights

Drill nights give people who wish to become a retained duty system firefighter the opportunity to come along and see what firefighters actually do! This is a great way to observe what is actually involved in becoming a retained firefighter.

The evening covers operational procedures such as:

• Community safety and first aid
• How to keep risks to a minimum
• Procedures and techniques
• Teamwork
• Use of equipment
