The first three Mobile Training Props are now undergoing Brigade evaluation. They are designed to take hot fire training to Brigades and Groups that are remote from CFA’s Field Training Grounds.
Volunteers, Brigades and Groups are encouraged to try them out and take a lead role by training to be operators/instructors and being prepared to assist with coordination.
The mobile training props are the first of a number of possible designs, and provide practical training for car fire, industrial and domestic scenarios.
Built to fit in their own shipping containers, these LPG fuelled self-contained props are easily transported and set up.
The trial aims to determine their suitability, the number required and other types of mobile training gear that volunteers and Brigades would fine useful.
Real opportunities exist for individual brigades or Groups to take the initiative and assist with the scheduling and conduct of valuable hot fire training with these mobile training props.
Contact your MTD with any participation enquiries.
