Training to prepare for the worst
A staged car accident took place on Strattmann Street, Mareeba recently for a two-night training session by Mareeba Auxiliary Firefighters and State Emergency Service (SES) Volunteers.
Members of the Mareeba SES and Mareeba Fire Station staged a car accident at Strattmann Street.
The staged scenario involved a car that was crushed by a tree and two casualties.
This realistic activity provided multiple training and requalification activities for both teams while providing an opportunity to work together, according to Mareeba SES group leader Chelse Crockford.
"It is important to maintain our qualifications; and working together showcases both teams’ capabilities” she said.
Both SES and Queensland Fire and Emergency are looking for more auxiliaries and SES volunteers to join their teams.
