LOCH Sport CFA is calling for new volunteers to join its fire brigade.
CFA is a skilled and highly-trained volunteer-based organisation that works to protect the lives and properties of millions of Victorians.
CFA volunteers undertake a range of operational tasks such as firefighting, road rescues, emergency medical response, as well as non-operational roles including fundraising, marketing, community education and engagement.
Loch Sport CFA Brigade Captain Peter Connell said the brigade was looking for new members to help fill some of those roles within the brigade.
“We’re keen to hear from anyone who is interested in serving their community and applying their skills and knowledge to CFA,” he said.
“Whether you want to jump on the truck and fight fires or wish to join the brigade in a non-operational support role, we will find one that suits you.”
The brigade has regular training sessions at the station, as well at areas in and around the township. “We often work very closely with other emergency services agencies, which helps us build great relationships with other members of the emergency sector and local community,” captain Connell said.
“We’re an inclusive organisation and welcome all applicants, and joining our brigade is not only fantastic for skill development, but is also a great opportunity to meet new people.”
Those interested in joining, or wanting to learn more, can phone Loch Sport Brigade Captain Pete on 0415 391 123 or Brigade secretary Bernie on 0417 122 495.
Alternatively, interested people can speak with the brigade at their fundraising op-shop that operates from the fire station (105 National Park Rd Loch Sport) on Sunday mornings from 8:30am to 12:30pm.
