Financial assistance for
volunteers to attend FRFANZ Conference 29.6.09
NRFA have advised FRFANZ that it has funds
to subsidise the attendance of one representative from each volunteer rural fire
force at the annual FRFANZ Conference, to be held in Timaru this year.
Applications should be made to the National Rural Fire Officer, Murray Dudfield.
FRFANZ is greatly appreciative of this new development in volunteer support, and
for the recognition that volunteers play a vital role in delivering rural fire
services to the country. Those new to the conference can be assured that their
attendance will be a learning event, sharing the experience of others. The conference
programme is available, and features accounts of the Black Saturday
catastrophe from our Australian colleagues.
