NULLA Vale CFA have received an equipment boost ahead of the upcoming fire season.<\/p>\n
Boronia CFA donated surplus equipment to the rural brigade and have formed a mutually beneficial partnership.<\/p>\n
“We had very little up-to-date equipment,” said Nulla Vale CFA captain Luke Freestone.<\/p>\n
“I contacted District 13 and eventually Boronia CFA said they had some unused equipment they could donate to us.<\/p>\n
“Last weekend they brought up some hoses and other equipment which will be a great help in the event of a fire.<\/p>\n
“We enjoyed a barbecue and had great day making new friends.<\/p>\n
“In the future we will team up with Boronia, Tooborac and Pyalong CFAs for training exercises which will benefit all the brigades.”<\/p>\n
Nulla Vale CFA currently has 28 members and 12 fire fighters.<\/p>\n
“We are a small community,” said Mr Freestone. “Our members are getting older and their younger family members often move away.<\/p>\n
“Anyone in the area who would like to join would be very welcome. We are here to protect everyone’s properties.”<\/p>\n
