Village Firefighter Course

Last weekend the ACTRFS conducted the Village Firefighter course. 

Natalie Hile from the Jerrabomberra Brigade took these fantastic shots for us.  It is great to see another budding photographer amongst our vounteers. 

ACTRFS Social Media Presentation

With so much being said and done in the 'social media' space with emergency organisations, the ACT Rural Fire Service has done up a presentation to briefly explain what we are doing. 

Check the presentation out below to learn about how social media is impacting in times of emergencies and how we could use it to keep people informed.

ESA Leadership Weekend

Last weekend the ACT Rural Fire Service organised an Emergency Services Agency Leadership weekend.  Members of the ACTRFS HQ, ACTRFS volunteers, SES volunteers and the Community Fire Unit volunteers all got together at the Quality Hotel in Woden for the Leadership Weekend.

Everyone learnt about self development and their own leadership attributes and ways it can assist with their life as part of the ACTESA.  Commissioner Mark Crosweller gave a talk on the Saturday morning for the participants that demonstrated their value as part of the larger organisation.



Commissioner Mark Crosweller addresses the leadership group and shares his experiences with them about personal development and growth.

ACTRFS Chief Officer Andrew Stark and Phil Langdon from Leadership Matters have a chat about the weekend.
