Not long ago, VFBV delegates raised the issue of volunteer dissatisfaction with pre-summer information and post-season debriefing, and we can now report a proposed solution.
CFA has agreed to implement a comprehensive centralised system that will be open to all members that will capture, log, track and report on progress against items raised throughout the season, as opposed to waiting for formal end-of-season reviews.
This should go a long way towards giving volunteers adequate opportunity to raise fireground issues that are still fresh in their minds, whilst providing much needed transparency and a direct line of communication from the grass roots to incident managers.
