 Hi, I'm Chris Milms. I'm a structural instructor currently based out of District 14 headquarters. Today I've been at Fisville in the role of Padco Ordinator and I've been working with a group of CFA members from around District 14 and they've been up here today for a practical component of their BA assessment. So those members have undertaken their training in their brigades. They've been trained by other brigade members and have completed some components of the assessment already before coming up here today. So some of the ancillary tasks associated with the wearing of BA as well as all of the theory assessment components. So today they've come up to do what we call the hostile environment component which is searching in a situation where we provide the conditions that are as realistic as possible to try to create an environment similar to what they might face in a real, structure fire situation. So they are assessed first of all in their donning and starting up. So putting the breathing apparatus on according to fire ground practices within a specified time frame. So they have 100 seconds to be able to don and start up the breathing apparatus and making sure that they do everything correctly and in the right order. Then they move on and they do a primary search of a structure that is laid out as a single story house which has real fires and is full of real smoke. They have limited visibility and in that environment they need to demonstrate to us their ability to be able to search the building effectively, communicate well with each other and make sure that they can carry that out in a safe manner. Once they've completed that they then go on to do what's known as a secondary search and they conduct that in a double story building which simulates quite a large house which has an open plan area on the ground floor and simulates bedrooms, bathrooms, those type of rooms up on the upper level. So the members spend a half day, we've had two separate groups in today. We take eight students in each session and they've worked with some of our volunteer instructors that we have in a pool of in District 14 and they've undertaken their assessments throughout the day. One of the things that we have in District 14 and we're incredibly fortunate is that we have quite a large pool of volunteer instructors who have undergone a fairly rigorous training and selection process and they work regularly with me on the structural, all types of the structural firefighting courses both as instructors and assessors. Throughout the district we also have a number of volunteers who perform that role as driver educators and help out on wildfire courses as well. So I had probably five volunteer instructors up here today with me and that means that it really enhances the level of training and assessment that we're able to provide to volunteers in District 14 so we're very fortunate to have that.
