It only takes one look at the Wodonga’s fleet to get a sense of how many functions this multi-skilled brigade takes on. Story courtesy of 'The Fireman.'
Colin Coyle was recently re-elected Wodonga group officer for the tenth year. He’s been in the brigade for 39 years while his father George, 98 years, has been a member for more than 70 years. Their knowledge has been passed on to Colin’s son Ross.
Bruce Vine’s local knowledge used to extend to knowing the name of every single one of his chooks and sheep. Alas, the foxes got them and now his and wife Lorice’s five acres in Tawonga at the foot of Mt Bogong are used for agisting horses.
Ten District 24 members recently gained their Strike Team Leader qualification at a course run in the Burrowa Pine Mountain National Park in Cudgewa North.
Wodonga brigade’s two newest recruits were introduced to life on station today as they began their transition from their 16 week recruit course to learning CFA’s method of service delivery.
As reported in The Border Mail, CFA crews have rescued a 3-year-old boy who squeezed his arm into the one-way chute of a Wodonga Shopping Centre vending machine and became trapped.
