Malar-Booie Rural Fire Brigade now has some of the latest communication technology on board, just in time for the official start of Queensland’s bushfire season.<\/p>\n

QFES Area Training Support Officer Steve Roberts visited Malar-Booie Rural Fire Brigade on Wednesday evening to train the volunteer firefighters in the new digital radio technology.<\/p>\n

A digital radio has been installed in the brigade’s “51” truck to\u00a0enhance fireground communication abilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraining is a very important part of preparation for our volunteers to get up-to-date with the latest technology,” Steve said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a great to see the commitment from the volunteers that have given up their time to come out this evening, away from their families, to help support our community.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the brigade’s latest members, Mark Magisana, said that like everyone else he had come straight from work for the training session.<\/p>\n

“It was also a good opportunity learn how the new radio works and to catch up with the rest of to see how Saturday’s controlled hazard reduction burn went.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malar-Booie\u00a0First Officer Neil Mungall said it had been great to\u00a0get the support from Steve and the Area Office.<\/p>\n

“(It will) make it easier for us to help out the community in our role as volunteer firefighters,\u201d Neil said.<\/p>\n

Malar-Booie Rural Fire Brigade would like to remind the South Burnett community that August 1 marked the official start of Queensland\u2019s bushfire season for 2020.<\/p>\n

“Here is a link<\/a><\/strong> to some of the things that property owners can to minimise the risk to your property and that of your neighbours. Be safe everyone,” Neil said.<\/p>\n
