The Brigade hosted local Brigades for joint training on grass firefighting, an AED/O2 use refresher (thanks
David Harker), CABA support and FireMapper. The Brigade was hosted by Wingello RFB for training on

We were a part of a Wingecarribee Southern Village Brigades and Mulwarree Brigades joint exercise
involving structure/grass fires, first aid and pumping.
