Fire station opens its doors
DO you have the enthusiasm and dedication to become a volunteer with your local CFA?
The Warrnambool CFA is now looking for new recruits for both the junior volunteer program (for those aged between 11 and 16 years) as well as adults (from the age of 18).
“We need an influx of new people and would love to hear from and meet people who are keen to become a volunteer and start giving back to their community,” 4th Lieutenant and Community Engagement Coordinator with the Warrnambool brigade, Darren Herpich said.
“We’re currently planning an open day, to be held on June 15 at the station and we invite the whole community to come along, meet with us and see what we’re all about.”
As part of the day’s activities there will be a barbecue, recruitment information, training demonstrations, fire truck displays and a host of children’s activities.
“Our open day will really showcase what we’re about and will give potential new members the opportunity talk with brigade members.
“Come and see what it takes to become a volunteer firefighter for your community; it’s an extremely rewarding role.”
Children will also have the chance to climb over trucks while families can learn more about both the junior and adult volunteer programs.
Visitors of all ages will be welcome at the station between 11am and 2pm on Sunday, June 15.
