Learning & Development
Training plays an important role with respect to the way that we carry out our role of fire suppression within the community.
The Riverina Zone Training Committee through consultation with local brigades and volunteers provides the Zone with training that meets the expectations of the members and provides security to the community through a well trained organisation.
The Learning & Development Officer for the Riverina Zone is John Baker.
Upcoming Courses:
BF course will be at the Junee RFS Fire Station on Thursday nights with theory on, 1st and 8th September starting at 1830hrs and Saturdays and the practical days on the 3rd and 10th September, starting at 0900hrs.
FAA course will be held at the Junee Reefs Hall on Tuesday 6th & Wednesday 7th September starting at 1800hrs.
VSG course will be held at the Maxwell Fire Station on Friday, 9th September, starting at 1000hrs.

Riverina Zone volunteers can nominate for any course within the Zone. If the course is outside our Zone you need to get permission from the Learning & Development Officer.
