Some well trained firefighters

Over the weekend Oberon HQ had two more firefighters attend and successfully complete the structure firefighter course at Chifley Fire Control Centre.

This course runs over four days and is specifically designed to give our firefighters the skills and knowledge they need for internal firefighting of structures.

With these two trained up, it brings Oberon HQ's total number of structural firefighters to an impressive six personnel.

Congratulations on completing this course

Captain- David Nielsen
Firefighter- Tara Ellery

A special thanks to Firefighter Steve Ellery for attending this course as an instructor, as well as Firefighter Matthew James for attending and lending a hand over the weekend.

Last but not least a massive thank you to Chifley's very own L&D (learning and development) officer for organising this course and pushing your brigades to be the best firefighters they can be. Your dedication and passion to always improving the skills of all Chifley Lithgow brigades is unmatched.

If you are looking to join a fantastic crew who pushes you to be your best, send us a message and we will talk you through how you can become a volunteer firefighter.
