Echuca CFA & neighboring Brigades recently held a search & rescue exercise in a disused nursing home.

Crews had to search smoke filled rooms looking for "Elderly Patients" and transfer them to an assembly point outside the building.

Bendigo PE Van was in attendance to refill BA cylinders as they were used to enable a large number of people to participate, while keeping all fire vehicles operational.

CFA Health Support were also present to conduct health checks & record before & after statistics of BA operators wearing the new turnout gear.

Brigades participating were;

  • Echuca
  • Echuca Village
  • Tongla
  • Rochester
  • Kyabram
  • Echuca Search & Rescue
  • Moama RFS
  • Moama NSWFB
  • Bendigo PE Van
