CFA, in consultation with VFBV, is about to issue wildfire helmet torches to all brigades.
One torch per seat will be allocated for each bushfire firefighting vehicle.
Part of the project’s aim is to ensure all wildfire helmets have a base fitted to allow a torch to be fitted when needed, so CFA needs to establish the quantity and locations of helmets that require retrofitting.
A survey is being distributed with options for the Brigade, an outside contractor to visit brigades, or sending helmets to District for fitting. CFA is also considering making fittings available at large District events (such as pre-season updates & meetings).
The surveys can be returned to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or fax (03) 9763 4825, or by calling the FIRS reporting line on 1800 628 844.
Brigades are urged to respond ASAP so immediate arrangements can be made prior.
