 My name is Robert Mace. I'm a leading firefighter here at Wodonga Fire Station and I'm one of the members responsible for the the host testing trailer here at Wodonga and the host testing units that are now available within CFA. In 2012 there was a serious injury down at Rosebud. A hose failed and even though that the correct PPC was being worn at the time the coupling actually struck the representative in the helmet and did some serious damage to the skull. He spent some serious time in hospital so there was definitely a need for a change. So I sat down and and drew up a plan and with the support from the Wodonga Fire Brigade by staff and volunteers we developed a hose testing unit which is currently in service here at Wodonga and has been now for five years and then from there Rosebud took on the idea of transferring it to a trailer and what we have now is exceeded all our expectations. Having the couplings secured to the unit removes the potential for those couplings to striking an individual or a member who is doing conducting the testing. We've been able to have five years here at Wodonga without having a near miss or an injury reported and Rosebud's in the same boat. They've got a trailer that is used for all their brigades within their district and they have not had a near miss or an injury reported in four and a half years since the trailer was developed.
