VFBV ADVOCATED PROGRAM - 10,000 SCANNERS DELIVERED – $3 MILLION IN SAVINGS TO BRIGADES –
CFA is still accepting Tier 3 orders from Brigades, Groups and individual members, for digital scanners at cost price.
The cost to volunteers has been significantly reduced due to the bulk orders placed during the Tier 1 and 2 subsidisation program.
Members can order units for $446.75 plus postage and handling, while stocks last.
The Digital Scanner subsidisation program advocated by VFBV and run in partnership with CFA has been an overwhelming success since it began in October 2015.
So far, 10,478 digital scanners have been ordered and shipped to Brigades and Groups across the state. The subsidy budget, and the savings to members, represents over $3 million.
More than 970 Brigades and 80 Groups have placed and received their Tier 1 & 2 orders, and Tier 3 is still under way.
Under the Tier 1 program, every Brigade was entitled to a minimum of eight units at the subsidised price. On average, Brigades ordered 3.5 units under Tier 1, and Groups took up one of their guaranteed minimum of two units. Under Tiers 1 and 2 members paid $150 for a scanner, with the subsidy budget paying the other $296.75
