2010 Evaluation Sessions
All members of the Newlands Fire Base are set to have their skills signed off by the end of July. Having hosted 3 evaluation sessions on 4, 14 and 17 July, many members have now signed off their skills for the coming fire season, just one of requirements for active fire duty.
Members have been assessed in the areas of pumps, GPS and communications.
Any Newlands Station training-related queries or issues can be directed to Emma and Karen at nwl.training@capefires.com.
MID-WEEK scenarios (Wednesday or Thursday) will typically run from 18h30 to 21h30. We are proposing that the mid-week scenarios are in the form of a three-hour NIGHT HIKE, and that it is compulsory to attend at least one of these. Calls for RSVPs will be sent out the weekend before the scenario.
