Last Sunday saw the annual Golden Bell Firies Family fun day at Poona. The competition for the Golden Bell from Poona RFB, River Heads RFB, Tinana RFB and Toogoom RFB was hard fought and good natured. Poona RFB has held the Bell for 3 out of the 5 years and had high hopes to retain it again this year. Races were for barrel roll, team knapsack and case 1 and case 4. The winners of the Golden Bell for 2009 was River Heads RFB, which was a composite crew with a Nikenbah RFB member roped in to make up the numbers. ..

The fire season in Queensland has been extremely busy so far this year, with no let up in sight. Volunteer Fire-Fighters have responded to thousands of callouts across the State with a number of large fires still burning. The Rural Fire Brigades Association Queensland would like to thank all Volunteer Fire-Fighters and support personnel deployed on strike teams and responding to so many local incidents. The Rural Fire Brigades Association Queensland is here to support you, and if you have any queries or concerns about deployment or equipment, then please contact us so that we can support you. We would also like to extend a big thankyou to all employers and organisations that support Volunteers while they are away from their paid positions being unpaid professional fire-fighters. Stay safe for the rest of what could be a very busy year...

Department of Defence Wide Bay Training
A major hazard reduction exercise was carried out during early July at the Department of Defence Wide Bay Training are when approximately 2000 hectares was successfully burnt and cleared of hazardous material. The operation was carried out by members from 8 Rural Fire Brigades and involved personnel from Forest Products Queensland, SES and Main Roads as well as defence officers. The exercise was an excellent example of inter-agency co-operation and a great opportunity for Brigades to work with other brigades. I congratulate all who took part and advise that other agencies involved have conveyed to me how impressed they were with the ability and professionalism displayed by Rural Fire Brigade volunteers. Well done all.

Contact details needed from Bundaberg District Brigade members
I would ask Brigades to please email me with their contact details. As your representative, I from time to time need to contact you with information and require Brigade responses and feedback for any changes affecting future and current directions of our Rural Fire Brigades and Volunteers. Email contacts are the quickest way to be able to achieve this. If your Brigade does not have email, I can post information your Brigades; my contact with our volunteers is paramount for me to be able to truly represent you.

Contact details needed from Mackay Area Brigade members
Feedback on many of the changes that are proposed or in the system for brigades is regularly required. To give accurate and worthwhile feedback in representing all the diverse locations of brigades and their member’s needs, it is most important for contact numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses to be available to the Rural Fire Brigades Association. I encourage everyone in our area to forward these to me as soon as possible so I can keep in touch.
