 We're here tonight to welcome Chief Officer Heffernan to the Dalesford Brigade and we're going to do a demonstration of some of the tools that CFA supplies to us on the rescue truck. The Chief will be invited to get on the tools under supervision and we'll be effectively do an extrication of an injured patient from the vehicle that is being damaged in a car accident. I'm Glen Webster. I'm the captain of the Dalesford Fire Brigade. November the 5th was a difficult day for us. We don't generally train for mass casualty events and this wasn't mass casualty event. The brigade turned out very quickly after the first ambulance arrived. I was the officer in charge. I tasked the team to split up, find someone who was conscious or at least breathing and stay with them and keep them alive and they performed amazingly. It was difficult in the first few days but they were wonderful. They attended public vigils, they attended church services, they held each other up. They held me up when I was struggling so I couldn't have asked for a better response from the brigade. They were amazing. As Chief Officer it was vital that I come along to Dalesford here tonight to hear the reflections upon the Dalesford Brigade and the Heffernan Brigade but also I guess share my gratitude for the hard work and dedication of the volunteers and what they do for the community but in particular recognise that horrific accident that occurred here in the township that touched so many in the community was really an opportunity for me to come along and say thank you on behalf of the Victorian community and see if we can continue to support them in their recovery.
