Firies ready to welcome new members

WHILE it is easy to become complacent when the weather is wet, those who fight fire warn that it doesn’t plan its own path ahead of time, but you can.

The Marburg Rural Fire Brigade have regular training sessions and are always looking for more members.

Rural firie Stephen McDermott said anyone who has ever wondered what a fire truck moving at speed was going towards, needed to join up and find out.

“Last month our brigade was requested to 14 incidents, from grassfires to QAS assists,” Mr McDermott said.

“No two callouts are ever the same and our crew is a mix of dedicated men and women who take pride in what they do.”

If you’d like to be part of the action drop by the station at 166 Edmond Street, Marburg on a Wednesday evening.
