Brigade after new recruits

Murphys Creek Fire Brigade in VK4 may face cutbacks to their fleet of three fire trucks if no new recruits are signed soon.

Many will remember the horror of the numerous fires in the area, formerly known as the Gatton Shire, in 2002 where more than 1000 fire-fighters battled blazes that lasted nearly two weeks.

Now due to changes in legislation, rural fire brigades such as Murphys Creek are being forced to recruit more volunteers or lose assets.

Hopefully they will get a lot of young blokes, who are the lifeblood of the brigade, and they are particularly after support members who can help with radio communications.

To find out more about positions at the Murphys Creek Station contact Secretary Margaret Wood on 07 4630 5191.
