CFA's "Vols On Hols" Pilot
If you are holidaying in District 10 between now and 30 April 2015, CFA would like to hear if you'd be willing to turn out with a local Brigade.
The Vols on Hols pilot project is open to current CFA volunteers who have completed their minimum skills and 6 mths probation.
It’s an opportunity to build on your professional skills and experience as a CFA volunteer, by turning out in a new and different environment. It's also a way to meet fellow volunteers at a new Brigade.
